    i'm a big morello fan, and a fan of all the infuences i've heard mentioned about this album (cash, dylan, springsteen...) but the lyrics are just plain awful.

    I love Tom Morello's work with Rage Against the Machine, but The Nightwatchman falls a little short for me. As expected, the guitar mechanics are stellar, but the vocals...well, there's something missing there. Sounds like Dylan without the eccentricity or poetic talent. Nice try by an otherwise great musician, though.

    The real discovery is that he's capable of making the same old racket at just a fraction of the volume.

    Morello 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]

    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]
