    A solid effort. It's not quite up to the level set by Journals and Distrust, but it's another solid notch on his ever growing belt. It's a more understated and cerebral listen. It's not the sound of a fiery political statement or the bittersweet angst of a broken family. But it is the sound of a growing master sharpening his blade. Jolie Holland really shines in her brief appearances.… Expand

    horrid. the prduction is absolutely horrible, not to mention the messy delivery by sage as he stumbles over cheap metaphors and cloudy imagery. I gave this album a three because there are only about that number that i can even stand to listen to. sage francis is a cheap imitator of other mc's like aesop rock and el-p who are LEGIONS above him. sage francis is a hack.

    This is a pretty decent album by Sage, but he has lost all the fun in his music. Instead of being a hip-hop artist with an alternative bent, he approaches the music like an emo artist trying to rap. For better HIP HOP albums, check out his indie releases like the "Sick of..." series or "Hope" by Non-Prophets. Bring back some of the clever fun, Sage!

    Its tracks work together to form a cohesive, incredibly personal whole. [May 2007, p.91]

    He rhymes like a champ. [Jun 2007, p.160]

    The weird, nuanced Rhode Island-based MC burns his references, punchlines and cold truths through a batch of X-acto-sharp beats, focusing his strong opinions, sense of imagery and lyrical abstraction inward.
