"Every song on this album is an absolute gem. It seems that no matter what mood I am in, this music seems to accompany it well. What a tragedy that this man didn't have the opportunity to make more music." Reply

"Sounding a little like classic ELO, especially on the second track, "It Ain't Over", the duo brings forth another album of sparkling garage rock/blues and an early favorite for the best album of 2022." Reply

"Let's face it Hamilton Leithauser has got the sort of name that screams head of the IMF rather than kick-ass rock n roller but ...he manages to get away with it...just. Teaming up with Rostam from Vampire Weekend seems to have been a fortuitous experience with the songs being a more concise and c..." [+] Reply

"Absolutely underrated, this one. Not to mention the very ill-deserved statement from that one critic at the time - "What is this shit?". This album is anything but that.

"As far as pop albums go, this one has aged surprisingly well. I love it just as much now as I did in the early 2000s." Reply

"A great, rockin' romp through some blues classics. Not only Clapton;s best studio album in 20 years, but also a great starting point for fans to familiarize themselves with blues." Reply

"Great lost psychedelic. Beautiful arrangements with string overdubs a la "Forever Changes" and strongly influenced by it. You can clearly hear these influences in "A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall", "Look At The Wind", "Look To The Sun" and "Didn't" among others. In other respects it draws from jaz..." [+] Reply
