UncutJan 29, 2015An album as strange as it is compelling. [Mar 2015, p.77]

Feb 4, 2015If the next two albums are going to document Miller's rise from rock bottom I'm intrigued as to how he's going to do that when there's a great deal of what seems to be optimism already about. That's exciting and it all comes from how good and honest Mansion Songs is.
