    Stupendously boring. Reheated late '70s Stones/Dylan rejects from a man with no aptitude for the genre in which he's chosen to work. One album of which would be bad enough - God alone knows what possessed him to try his luck with two.

    Poor. Disappointing. And, worst of all: boring. A sad day for a long-time fan.

    Much of it is endurance-defyingly dull. [Jul 2006, p.84]

    Black's voice is less interesting when he's not going postal with the Pixies; here he delivers dark visions wanly, with a nod to Nick Cave and a saving touch of camp.

    [A] compendium of mostly refined Americana, albeit filtered through Black's uniquely cockeyed worldview.
