This is the album I've been waiting nearly 10 years for them to make. Better late than never.
-
The first studio release by the Sadies in three years represents a big sonic advance.
-
MojoTheir studio albums have been moving away from virtuoso instrumentals toward vocal songs, of which this album has some excellent examples. [Dec 2007, p.104]
-
Canada's greatest contribution to Americana since Blue Rodeo have been consistently topping themselves with each new album, and their sixth, New Seasons, is another triumph.
-
As time passes, it sounds samey, though rich nevertheless.
-
The group synthesizes pretty much anything you could lump under a general Americana label--bluegrass, country, alt-country, folk rock--to create an idiosyncratic sound more West Coast than Nashville.
-
This album isn't on par with the Sadies' searing early material or recent similar country-rock albums from the likes of Oakley Hall or Okkervil River.
