    like many critics pointed out, it's lyrically briliant yet it's ac arrangements make it alarmingly dull at times.

    Soothing and mysterious. The kind of music you'd want to spin after a hard day's work.

    Now I have to buy all the music Lambchop made after "How I Quit Smoking". "Beers Before the Barbican" is pretty great; so is "Crackers". No, not great. Brilliant. Smog is great. Kurt Wagner is a little better, with the exception of "Dress Sexy at my Funeral". I write songs and "Damaged" gives me a massive inferiority complex. This is a really great album. I mean brilliant. It's "If You're Feeling Sinister"-brilliant.… Expand

    As consistantly brilliant and beautiful as "How I Quit Smoking," which is saying quite a lot. It's the best record I've heard this year.

    Transcendent and worthy of their fantastic cataluge. One of the better records of 2006 as a whole.

    their last double album whammy was a disappointment to me, but now the mighty kurt wagner is back with some of the most consistent, thorough and refined songwriting of his career. The man is a poetic visionary who deserves all the credit in the world! Not as melodically entrancing as Nixon but that's a minor quibble...

    Like the 2002 album Is A Woman, Damaged scales back for an opaque set of heartbroken songs inspired by, in Wagner's words, "deeply personal experience."

    Lambchop have long been one of America's greatest bands, and Damaged is their greatest achievement.

    Even more subdued than usual. [12 Aug 2006, p.32]
