    Not as good as their masterpiece "Everything is Good Here/Please Come Home," or even the bleak but beautiful ode/farewell to Jarboe, "How I Loved You," "Sing Other People" is nonetheless a fine album with some truly great songs, if you're willing to sit through some of the more mundane (by the Angels' standards) ones.

    After all these years Michael continues to surprise even those who have religiously followed him from the first years of the Swans. This record stands for his vitality and his capacity of reinventing himself. The least I can say is that, as always, I'm looking forward for the next.

    This is the best album Michael Gira has realease to date. This due in a large part to the backing of the Akron/Family.

    Another left-field triumph for Gira.

    It is utterly engaging, totally absorbing and, well, absolutely essential.

    Gira's songs have many one-of-a-kind nuances that tether the album even when it ventures.
