"Love And Rockets A departure from densely sonic and chugging previous album 'Express.' Some songs have their expected rock sound, but mostly this is an acoustic based effort.

""When you need someone to be there for you, I won't be one who will help you out" cries a heart-broken Ryan Adams on Pneumonia's twangy opener, "The ballad of Carol Lynne". Whiskeytown was an alt-country band and, sonically, this album is heavier on the "alt" than any of their previous efforts (T..." [+] Reply
"You can always rely on Sparks to bring some whimsy to the party, and here they fulfill that promise in spades. Take the title track, a three-and-a-half-minute musing on all the unlikely things that have landed in their swimming pool." Reply

"Tracy thorn's voice was never more beautiful. Every deftly written lyric coupled with her voice begs you to listen and react. One of those albums that should have been huge, but the world is too shallow to take it. "Your pockets are lined with promises, when did promises ever pay for shoes."" Reply

"A really beautiful album beginning to end. A powerful return for The Chicks, and Jack Antonoff did a great job producing it. Especially love March March and Young Man." Reply
