Under The RadarA wholly stunning album. [#7]

MojoThese may be other people's words, but Dulli well knows the vocabulary. [Nov 2004, p.112]
-
A compellingly listenable record whose thematic signal points add up to one of the very, very few viable theme/concept albums composed solely of cover tunes.
-
Dulli isn’t in Johnny Cash’s league yet -- then again, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits are the only people who are -- but 'She Loves You' marks him out as a fellow traveller.
-
For better and worse, Dulli molds these bizarrely disparate song choices into shapes that suit his style, overpowering them on occasion, but only so as not to come across as slavishly deferential or dull.
-
It's still very plainly the Dulli Show, placing his cigarette-stained voice and oversized heartache front-and-center.
