James H gave it an8:
Very good album. High points include "At the Back of the Shell" and "Love is a Deserter". Stripped down and dirty rock.......dark...but quite a bit of fun. Somehow makes you feel cool while listening.
Christopher L gave it a7:
Rodeo Town the standout track for me.
Jeremy Bk gave it a7:
Maybe I should give the band a higher number. I like this album a lot, more than the first album, which I also liked a lot, though it was uneven. They are a very intelligent band, alternating very simple patterns, gradually and continuously. It's like minimalism in rock/punk/blues. I like this a lot more than White Stripes crap, which I worry they'll be compared to. The Stripes are so strident and aren't as subtle. But I quit listening to them after their second album, so maybe the comment's unfair. The lyrics on this new K's album are also funny --lots of small plays on patterns and cliches. Esp. Dead Rd. 7. They're playful and they have done a focused raw that's really good. The album isn't higher than a 7 bcs I don't know if it 'll last and don't think it's classic. But it's good.

This duo, after Keep on your mean side, demonstrate that they do good music. for me one of the best indie/rock album of 2005.
Davis W gave it a7:
This band is more of a live act (highly, highly recommended if you haven't seen them) but the album is still a good listen. I find their debut "Keep On Your Mean Side" more sexy and more fun but this is still worthy of a purchase.
John R gave it a9:
Wanted to give it an 8.5....It's a good record, dark but not for show...Very effective.
