The old 97's seem refreshed with new-found energy, evident on opener "The Fool" which professes "you've got to be a fool to be a fool in love". The first four songs, including "Dance With Me" ("don't tell me the world is in trouble -- dance with me"), "No Baby I" and "My Two Feet" are the best and most upbeat 4 contiguous songs on any old 97's album (and i have most albums). I think allmusic's allusion to whiskeytown's "Stranger's Almanac" is appropriate -- this is probably what a reunited whiskeytown would sound like. But everything's not all upbeat, as "my two feet" reveals "It gets so lonesome you don’t know / It’s such a lonely way to go / I’m going on down the mountain on my two feet and I’m going slow". There isn't much of a drop-off after the first four, with country-clash rocker "ride", lover's ode "she loves the sunset" and the tension-building romp "early morning" as other highlights.
