He's made a novelty record that gets deeper with time.
-
60He may be treading water a little until he really gets into his groove as the 21st century Sondheim, but Distortion at its best is beguiling and quietly devastating.
-
There are some entertaining songs here ('Drive On, Driver,' 'I'll Dream Alone') but overall, there is scarcely an affective moment on Distortion. [Winter 2008, p.83]

JohnMcC.9Tuneless? I think not. A great pop album reminiscent of earlier Magnetic Fields records.
