80Coy, genail and funny... a potent antidote to the usual chill-out porridge. [#184, p.140]
-
80Those of you who choose to get in on the ground floor of this superlative venture they call Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By will not be disappointed.
-
Terrific baby-making music for the irony-inclined.
-
80Superficially, Lovage is a continuation of the Handsome Boy Modeling School aesthetic that collides HipHop, rock and electronica into an ironic hipster epic. [#213, p. 59]
-
70Only time will tell whether it's a cheeky classic or a momentary novelty.
-
70Lovage's schtick wears pretty thin by album's end--but if it works like it's supposed to, you won't need to play it that long. [Feb 2002, p.108]
-
60As an EP, the premise of Lovage would flourish.
-
60Works both as satire and actual make-out fare. [Feb/Mar 2002, p.113]
-
While Nakamura is quite possibly one of the most accomplished beat processors in the realm of art hip-hop/electronica, his strict-composer approach on this project is occasionally inaccessible and at times unlistenable.
-
50Lovage only works some of the time--the record's sense of humor often trumps its music. [Feb 2002, p.123]
-
45My biggest gripe about Lovage is that it finds a number of clearly talented artists constructing the same song continually without variation.
-
20Not even the added muscle of playaz like Kid Koala, Afrika Bambaataa, Plug 3, Prince Paul and Mike Patton manage to lift this album above the low level pastiche it seems happy to be.

KeithW10The only down side to the album are the three skit like tracks. The instrumentation is excellent and the vocals are suppurb.
