80Unsettling stuff--but weirdly life-affirming, too. [May 2007, p.103]
-
80The Nightwatchman is a Molotov cocktail as volatile as any he's thrown at the barricade of injustice in the past 15 years.
-
A combination of his rich vocals and hook-filled tunes ensures that the heartfelt result rarely seems like a harangue. [27 Apr 2007, p.141]
-
Morello's baritone voice is surprisingly expressive.
-
70Morello shows us that he's a) a facile acoustic guitar player, too, b) a better than serviceable singer and c) an intelligent and passionate social commentator and protest singer. [28 Apr 2007]
-
70The real discovery is that he's capable of making the same old racket at just a fraction of the volume.
-
This is agitprop the old-fashioned way.
-
At times, the album gets a little precious, but the more inspired moments are truly undeniable. [Jun 2007, p.156]
-
60The potency of the admirable sentiments is undermined by the lacklustre execution.
-
Morello handles these stark songs with the calm confidence and strong conviction that bears the mark of a man who has spent his share of time on the front lines. [Summer 2007, p.91]
-
Despite his surprisingly palatable baritone, this remains an album you won't want to listen to more than once.
-
40An album that's high on good intentions but low on spark.
-
40Unfortunately, he forgot he cannot sing or write coherent lyrics.
