Recorded at the same time and released on the same day, 'Aw C'Mon' and 'No, You C'Mon' are actually intended as separate albums, rather than two parts of a double album. The Nashville String Machine lends strings to each.

It's important to note that these albums were created as the soundtrack to the silent movie "Sunrise" directed by F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu). Wagner started an expiremental challenge to write a song a day, during which time he was asked to produce a new soundtrack for a rerelease of the film. So, to refer to the music as background music is quite accurate. I'm a fan of the band, so i'm biased, but thinking of the music of both albums in this context makes each album even enjoyable for me. It's great (but challenging) stuff.

Must admit I can't help but regard these two albums as one beautiful double player. Not normally what I would go for but an unexpected delight and my album of the year so far. Laid back, sometimes even ambient, yet rollocking in places, this was my most surprising discovery of 2004.

Almost impossible to catergorize it's so varied. Difficult enough deciding which disc you'd like to listen to first; even after you've made your decision you'll be sorely tempted to play the disc that's just finished again. Superb.

I have nothing to compare this to, except "No, You Come On", issued simultaneously, since these are the first two Lambchop albums that I've bought. This album seems much more sluggish than "N,YCO". There's nothing inherently wrong with the songs, but the string section seems overdone, and many songs sound similar. If you are going to buy one album, I'd highly recommend the companion piece. This album is so completely inoffensive that sometimes it sounds like it would be perfect background music for a two-year old's birthday party or maybe your 90-year-old grandma's. You can tell there's talent here but it's much clearer on "No, You Come On."
