    Sometimes the songs are a bit less genuinely emotional than they're intended to be. But for the large part, a very good album with well written songs.

    Is it possible that the best mariachi-fueled rock album to date could come from somewhere other than Texas? I think it may be...

    Really one of the best Calexico works. Still entertaining after 3 years of repetitive audiences. Love it!

    Calexico's strongest effort thus far, and a well established string of songs. Though there is plenty of that "Calexico" sound this album is somehow a step above for the group.

    An evocative and textured album, still intriguing after 2 years.

    This is the most unappreciated, underrated, unknown album I have ever listened to. This guys deserve way more credit than what they are getting. It draws from all sorts of genres, but still keeps its southwestern feel. It is simply amazing. A+

    A mighty fine album which neatly sidesteps the tired alt.country tag, 'Feast Of Wire' is an engaging musical road trip that you wish would never end.

    It's like drinking a cold one with Willie Nelson down Mexico way. [#3, p.87]
