BrianJMar 17, 2004Monsoon is a rehash of their first album, All This Sounds Gas and that's not a bad thing either. Half the songs on here are good and the other half are just ok. The first four songs are great. Spiral has improved as a songwriter, but the weak songs drag out this album. Overall, you know that he can do better.

It's a pleasant listen, with twice the beauty of its predecessor 'All This Sounds Gas', but while the songs are easy to appreciate, they are difficult to love.

Alternative PressA batch of lazy mid-afternoon pop songs that only sound better when his friends from Wilco show up to sing along. [Apr 2004, p.86]

The glimmers of vitality lurking around the edges of the album tend to make it all the more frustrating -- just a few more distinctive songs would've gone a long way towards making this a really solid album instead of just an intermittently entertaining one.
