"In the '90s I might've given it an 8/10 with a healthy dose of shame, but after having experienced the '00s, I have no doubt this ripple caused a tidal wave. The pop dilutes the country into something that is digestible for non-American listeners too, but that's not to say I like it despite the c..." [+] Reply

"Pretty loud, hard to hear the vocals from the lo-fi recording. But I liked it" Reply
"I'm a life long DD fan , but have to be honest this album is poor except for the amazing singles Ordinary world B+ Come undone A++++ Too Much Information B- Apart from these it's fairly unpalatable" Reply
"The influence that this record would have on later artists is very clear but the music itself doesn't really hold up. The record feels very bare and not a lot really happens on most of the songs. There is only a couple of tracks that I would pick out and listen to again after this record and most..." [+] Reply
"Spencer Krug's projects just keep progressing better-and-better. Once again he has bested himself. The guitar playing and arrangements are deep but yet these songs and his delivery make these his accessible songs yet.

"This album is a let down, definitely one of his worst albums. I do not recommend this to anyone for any occasion unless you have a serious fetish for underachieving albums. Best song: Empire State of Mind. I wouldn't bother with the rest of the album it's not worth the time." Reply
