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

    this album totally captivates the pure form that is mike patton. jennifer charles' vocals along with nakamura and patton's musical int. makes this album a must......

    This is a great record skip the skits though The singing, especially that of Jennifer Charles is top notch and her lyrics are clever and spot on as well, Mike does a good job keeping pace, though letting himself be sensual is sometimes out of his reach, and he reverts back to being a jokey bellower

    A lot of cool smooth sampling from the 60's 70's that transform good songs into a great classic album. I give 10 for less than 1 out of 100 records that I own. Nothing else from Nakamura or Patton come close to this IMO.

    The only other "sampling" album that I give at 10 is The Avalanches "Since I left You"

    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.

    Lovage'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]

    Superficially, 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]
