    It rocks, sometimes wallows and wanders off, but still comes back to a lo-fi sound that's contagious and consistent. [Sep 2006, p.136]
  2. With 1968, Pajo... may have finally found a style he feels comfortable putting his name on.
  3. [An] impressively diverse album.
  4. Magnet

    Largely thanks to more robust production and instrumentation than was afforded last year's Pajo, 1968 proves that it isn't so much what you say, but how sweet you can make it sound. [#73, p.103]
  5. While not quite aspiring to the lofty benchmark of 'Whatever, Mortal', this recovers the lost ground of 'Pajo'.
  6. Mojo
    70
    As ever, easy melodies pour from him. [Oct 2006, p.104]
  7. A bit too predictable and lightweight.
