    The problem with Fear Yourself is not that it sounds big, rather that it sounds condescending to the man it's supposed to be all about, and more importantly, by.

    Not even Linkous can prop up this house of cards for long. [#58, p.94]

    Johnston's voice rarely melds with Linkous' production, and it loses its gritty charm amid such dignified surroundings.

    A touching album mainly about obsessive love that is genuinely moving & powerful.
