Reviews"...The What-The-Hell Approach to Recording Has Served Red House Painters Well...", 3 Stars - Good - "...the album metamorphoses into a thoughtful, but far more dynamic group affair. Sure, there's the heartbreak, the flat world theories, but there's also strident Neil Youngian guitar....a highly entertaining, well off the wall album.", "...Post-folkie acoustic guitar mixes with Crazy Horse-like electric gnarl, and dreamy pedal steel enhances the languor.

The effect is freshening, at once looser, more varied and more textured than the band has often sounded in the past..."
