    Excellent LP. His trademark grit is toned down on this one, but the intensity is all there, lurking under the surface this time around. The guitar is taking second fiddle to.. fiddles, so we get some romantic string arrangements that seem totally out of place on a frog eyes lp. Quite a few tracks in the middle don't quite hold up, but, for the most part the composition is strong andExcellent LP.

    While there's no lack of drama on Locket, it's a missing the bombast of yore--which is to say that if you hated Frog Eyes before, you might dig this one. [No. 124, p.57]

    This is Frog Eye’s most elegantly structured, premeditated, composed album ever. It is also miraculously, unexpectedly the band’s best to date.
