    This cd was amazing. The reviewers need to research the band and the genre and take into consideration many more things.

    Tim Kasher is still amazing people. The day he writes a bad album call me up and i will personally reimburse your purchase. It's still The Good Life but with a different kind of twist I don't know how to describe. If you've only heard Heartbroke, get this album at once - it is nothing like the rest of the record. I really love it. Still can't stop humming Keely Aimee. Tim Kasher is still amazing people. The day he writes a bad album call me up and i will personally reimburse your purchase.

I really love it. Still can't stop humming Keely Aimee. You Don't Feel Like Home To Me is a perfect example of what this band is capable of and is them at their shimmering best. So Let Go proves Kasher still has the ability to make you weep like he did on Novena On a Nocturn. Pick it up asap!… Expand

    The songs on Help Wanted Nights are all solid, simple, yet melodic, about running away from home and trying to find home and breaking up, but nothing really stands out.

    While the album has occasional moments of brillance, most of these songs sound like underwhelming sketches instead of finished products. [Oct 2007, p.160]

    Almost every one of these twangy, homespun gems finds him in the heat of romantic battle--taunting, eviscerating or pleading with a lover or an ex.
