TimJAug 1, 2005This is a great album that gets much better with repeat listens. The Rolling Stone review was the dumbest thing I've ever read. Do they even know who Raymond Carver is? Come on, seriously.

Nov 27, 2022I was shocked to see this score. The critics were so wrong about this. This needs an instant reappraisal.

A honky tonk Leonard Cohen, the music of Smog sounds like it's spent all its life half cut in a saloon bar way out in the American mid-west thinking far too deeply about love and life for far too long.
-
As much as it hurts to admit it, not everybody will get so much out of Smog's latest understated masterpiece.
-
He's reached another career peak to match that of 1999's 'Knock Knock'.
