"If you can get through the sustained depressed mood and anger without feeling overwhelmed, this is one of the best alternative metal albums to ever be released. Lost brilliance."  Reply

"This is an absolutely stunning collection of music. It just goes to show what a fantastic band The Rolling Stones were in the sixties.

"You gotta love his raw vocal style in this album - even when the melody from "Sunlight Bathed The Golden Glow" is repeated another two times later in the album, it's a great melody (has the same syllables in a line and everything)."  Reply

"“I was just an Indiana kid, getting no one in my bed,” sings Timothy Showalter on "JM," “but I had your sweet tunes to play.” That song recounts long afternoons spent rebelling against his parents, smoking in his car, hating all his friends, and playing JM’s sweet tunes at presumably high volume...."  [+]  Reply

"She's very consistent as far as pop artists go. She took a step back on the songwriting here because of how her last album went. Kind of sad, I think she is much better than most pop artists when she is working with the right person. Not too much of her and not too much of them. This album defini..."  [+]  Reply

"I still gave this a 50 because, as always, the music is fantastically arranged, but GOD these lyrics are a complete joke.
