"Brilliant satanic rock/prog/folk masterpiece. Every track is outstanding, and then the final track, "Sacrifice", is one of the best rock tracks of all time. Probably needs several listens to really get into it."  Reply

"Almost as good, if not as good, as private eyes. Starts slow, but definitely has the same amount of hits -- "kiss on my list", "you've lost that lovin' feelin'", "you make my dreams" and "everytime you go away" are recognizable. "kiss on my list" and "you make my dreams" were probably the first h..."  [+]  Reply

"A deeply personal and introspective record. I love this album. The production is great, gotta love that dry drum sound. Jeff Tweedy is writing better lyrics than he ever has."  Reply

"Sadly,a short album of pop music if you minus the impressive yet self indulgent concerto tracks. But there are some real gems here. Ben knows how to step in and out of the music spotlight as good as anyone and let some classical musicians really shine. The musical break on the title track is grea..."  [+]  Reply

"Experimental and interesting, but has a tendency to be shrill, unnecessarily repetitive and frankly annoying. A difficult album to get through, only redeemed by the clear intellect behind the way it chooses to experiment."  Reply

"(A bit of an odd album. When I hear it, it's as real and tangible as that pond on the desert's horizon. And when the album ends, its as gone as ... well, that damn pond. Anyway, shitty attempts at poetic metaphor aside, this is a strangely gauzy, smoky, ethereal album that flows effortlessly and ..."  [+]  Reply

"The plug awards put these kids in the punk category. Sure, i hear the attitude, but the instrumentation isn't confrontational enough and the vocal delivery lacks a rebellious snarl. They actually sound like they're tired of being sexy, self-deprecating ("css suxxx") and just ready to lose society..."  [+]  Reply
