    While Blender seemed a bit off with their review (I think that he probably tried, but has simply lost his sense of songwriting), I have to agree with them for once. It just seems stale. Everything feels like I've heard it a million times before. Like someone else said, it's severely lacking urgency.

  1. It often feels sluggish despite itself, and his lyrics show him riding against the same old Michigan wind with a voice that's grown haggard and curmudgeonly with time.
  2. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    This is satisfying meat-and-potatoes rock. [15 Sep 2006, p.77]
