    Some are already calling it a landmark. This year's 'Deserter's Songs' or 'Soft Bulletin'. In truth it's probably better than both of those records.

    At 72 minutes, the gorgeous gloom of It Still Moves lasts a bit longer than it has to--but it offers a host of tarnished gems along the way. [Sep 2003, p.126]

    Epic, lyrical, and as ultimately old-fashioned as those words suggest. [Oct 2003, p.106]

    In all, My Morning Jacket may be a journey through the past, but it's also a solid step into something rock & roll has been missing for an awfully long time in the mainstream arena: melody, extremely catchy and well-written songs that aren't afraid of the mainstream, and a love of the great pop continuum that translates into something new.

    Just realized that I had never rated/reviewed It Still Moves-- one of my favorite albums of the 00's. Evokes great classic southern rock while sounding natural, rather than the forced imitation that a lot of their current peers in the genre fall into.… Expand

    I have really enjoyed this disc and MMJ seem like a group that will have longevity. I look forward to following them.

    Don't believe the "album of the year" talk. There are great points on the album that make me understand why people would say that. But i dont know how they can overlook the completely grating songs that ruin this cd. MMJ are at their best when the songs run long and go into the spacy guitar solo jams..and for that its worth it. However, the poppier songs like #1 and 2 make me want to break the cd in half.… Expand

    Two or three standout tracks. The rest is forgettable at best and grating at worst.
