  1. Mellencamp sounds like he's just hitting his stride. [19 Oct 2001, p.82]

    The songs on Cuttin' Heads are his strongest since 1993's Human Wheels. [#4, p.120]
  3. A strong, cohesive and surprisingly soulful record.
  4. 20
    He still sounds like a blue-collar phoney trying to be a poor man's Springsteen. [May 2002, p.104]

    I love it! John blends so many new sounds with relevant lyrics and a catchy chorus on each tune.

    although this is one of the coug's strongest efforts, he simply is not an artist. he is and will always remain a springsteen knockoff.
