StooOct 5, 2005What??? Why?? why did they do this? The first album was one of my favorites of all time. Listening to this 39 times I can't make myself like it. Why didn't they make a diversely interesting album like the first? Why did they make every song the same pile of mush? Biggest dissapointment of the year. Two or three songs are somewhat catchy / interesting.

maoOct 7, 2005It's hard to believe this is the same band that made "You Forgot It In People". That record changed my life, and restored my love of music. This one is a rambling, shambolic mess of overproduction and underdeveloped tunes.

CAOct 27, 2005Although A&C has an impressve line up with Feist, Jason Collett and New Buffallo, BSS is an alienating group of overindulgent hipsters who have mysteriously ridden a wave of underground buzz past their first overrated failiure of an album. This new outting is embarrassingly directionless. I'm sorry I baught it.

RichardGOct 21, 2005This CD is highly overrated. It is a complete mess with too many musicians and horrible mixing. A total disappointment.

BillboardA richly textured collection of songs that further explore the possibilities of the group's grooving dream-pop blueprint but stays just weird enough not to attract the ear of mainstream radio.
-
BlenderThe album's plush and detailed enough to invite extensive exploration, and varied enough to not get exhausting. [Oct 2005, p.135]

This exercise in excess makes the ambitious You Forgot It in People seem positively understated by comparison.
