-
Ireton's vocals grow more appealing with each listen, as does the album. Murdoch has created such a lush, cinematic world here that turning Girl into a movie almost feels redundant.
-
God Help the Girl should probably just be viewed as a flawed work or a semi-successful adventure by a solo artist who needs his band to be truly great.
-
Ireton's voice has an unschooled grace which elevates 'Hiding Neath My Umbrella' to the status of an interesting, if flimsy, curio in Murdoch's canon. It's just a shame the rest of the record, and the new recruits, are so fucking woeful.
