  • Summary: The alt-country indie-rock band led by Eef Barzelay returns with its long-awaited album, completed back in 2006.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 13
  2. Negative: 0 out of 13
  1. Fully digested, Hungry Bird succeeds as a grand epitaph and a birth announcement.
  2. What strikes me is that past Clem Snide albums had their stronger moments, but also their weaker ones, while Hungry Bird, for all its time in development, is more solid throughout, delivering its 10 pop songs with a consistency that shows the band continuing to develop its sound.
  3. This exquisitely downbeat album of droll heartbreak songs once again confirms that there is a certain knack to creating uplifting musical misery, and spectacularly-named frontman Eeef Barzelay has that knack in spades. [Jun 2009, p.119]
  4. 60
    When he’s in command, Barzelay seldom feels the need to be so subtle. But don’t sweat the details and many of the tracks will fall into place eventually.
