I'm giving this an 8. I've been meaning to buy this album for ages now. Evan came to Perth this weekend just gone so I went out and bought it beforehand so I'd know some of his new tunes. I have always been a huge Lemonheads fan and this album did not disappoint me. I've always found that the Lemonheads managed to balance and mash up between folk/rock/country/pop and even though a few tunes on this album have more of a country feel to what I'd normall like, I still loved it. Maybe I'm biased because I've been a Lemonheads fan for over 10 years. If you get a chance to see Evan live any time soon I'd recommend going because it was one of the best live performances I've seen in a long time. He has an amazingly beautiful and strong voice live and I'd never, ever miss a chance to see the man with just his guitar, ever again.

This is album is stunning! It hurts its so good! sweet rock and roll
..but I know gave it an 8:
Few records are worth a zero, and this one not at all. "Cool"? Possibly not, but above all there are great songs on this album. So great songs coupled with Evan Dando's magnificent voice and you've got a special album, not least considered his "troubled" past.
Um... I dunno gave it a 0:
Hated it, hate it and will always and forever say it sucks!!!
Ben J gave it an 8:
Definitely an understated record, but after a few spins it really, really beings to work, and it's strange quirks become more exciting each time they're heard. This is easily Evan's finest collection of songs, and age has brought a mellow, husky tone to his voice that suits the songs brilliantly. Granted, it isn't a particularly dynamic record but chances are it will gain in stature as time ticks by.

I think we should tally the number of reviews where the only unfavourable review is that of Pitchfork. Seriously, its time to ditch this elitist independent-circlejerk poor excuse for a review site.
