  1. No Ripcord

    Dignity and Shame is just another day in the world-weary lovelorn characters that Bachmann has so vividly brought to life for the past five years with his Crooked Fingers entourage.
  2. Lost At Sea
    85
    As with other Crooked Fingers albums, Bachmann's stories really command most of our attention here, and they serve to elevate his songs beyond just being clever pastiches of pop music.

    The strident approach... doesn't quite work. [Jul 2005, p.100]
