Jun 17, 2011Absolute orgy for the ears. Wolf is a minor musical/poetic genius. Lyrics that unfurl slowly with each and every listen. Still prefer alopecia personally but both are extremely underrated/ undiscovered LP's. I love loving Why? is what I'm hear to say.

JohnmApr 16, 2008A captivating record which improves on each listen. The album has songs on it that just don't get old (like rubber traits) and little filler material. Wolf put a lot of time in creating the melodies on this record. Worth buying.

andyrNov 4, 2005wow. I am impressed. I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I like some of his other stuff, but this is great, and much more together and cohesive.

[Anonymous]Oct 28, 2005why? has done it again, after continually growing as an artist through multiple releases, he unleashes his tightest and most powerful album. full of indie, hip-hop, electronic, spoken word, poetry, and all around goodness. may not be for everyone, as most people are idiots, therefore if you like this album, you'll have passed my test.

andrewmOct 21, 2005Why? has fully realized its goal of creating authentic music. From its melodic, dramatic fluidity to its vignette-based lyrical forays, Wolf's brilliance and fragility are more apparent than ever.

Zedd138Oct 16, 2005Well, he finally did it. Yoni Wolf has turned his indie rock influenced hip hop act into a full-fledged four piece psych-folk indie pop group. I'd have to say I couldn't enjoy this progression much more.... definitely one of the best albums of 2005.
