Feb 1, 2012All the things that give an album its personality--the sound of a band finding its feet, the little tempo fluctuations, the requisite "are we rolling, Bob?" fits and starts--are here in spades.
-
Jan 9, 2012This record is the result of Finn turning his hand to songwriting for the very first time and, yes, he's nailed it.

Jan 24, 2012Anyone expecting the bar rock bravado of the Hold Steady is probably going to be disappointed by Clear Heart Full Eyes' subdued vibe, but anyone looking for more of Craig Finn's sprawling tales will feel right at home.
-
Jan 19, 2012Finn's best songs are the ones when he's fully in the present, in tune with every emotion and every detail his protagonists might experience during a particular moment.

Jan 23, 2012Despite its flaws this first solo offering is a human record; brave and honest, both in content and purpose.
