"No offence, but this was borderline unlistenable. Don't wanna say too much, it will simply seem like hating, there's no point really. I fail to see how or why someone would enjoy it, but good for you anyway."  Reply

"I'm not a big fan of The Swans but on this side project, Michael Gira is at his best and the "country" tracks here sound even more ominous and dark than on his main bands heaviest darkest song. On most of the tracks he takes his time to arrive at a satisfying and in many case manic ending. The hi..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the 5th BtS release, but for me it was the follow-up to the album that blew me away and hooked me as a fan, 1999's "Keep it Like a Secret."

"Crude alt. rock for angsty teenagers. Save for songs that relate to Wes Scantlin's personal narrative and his relationship with his son, these are all comical jams about doing it. Which is cool if that's your thing, I suppose."  Reply

"Their best album. An eclectic, challenging pop rock album. Sonically, the album has a broad variety including acoustic guitar music, power pop, trip hop, electronica etc. What unites the album sonically is it's clean pop production that gives the whole album a "bright and shiny" feel. Lyrically, ..."  [+]  Reply
