    Amber Headlights has clear thematic and structural parallels to the Afghan Whigs' excellent 1996 rock opera Black Love.
  2. Uncut

    The funk-noir backing means that Dulli is able to purr lyrics about "sexy ladies", debilitating cocaine habits and your standard-issue emotionally violent love affairs without sounding as trite as he perhaps should. [Mar 2006, p.104]

    As he points out in the sleeve notes, these were "works in progress", but that doesn't excuse using stagnant rock riffs to obscure his lack of inspiration.

    Transitional. Unfinished. Rough. Admittedly full of potential and a great view into what it is Dulli does.

    For what it is, it is good. "Amber Headlights" are a couple of demos. It is not a finished article.
