Dec 21, 201083Most of the music on Deer Tick's third album, The Black Dirt Sessions, was recorded back in 2008, during the sessions for the rollicking Born On Flag Day, but it'd be a mistake to think of these songs as leftovers.
-
The Black Dirt Sessions is this band's "After the Goldrush," stuffed with devastating songs laid bare by weathered, redemption-seeking renegades.
-
McCauley's lyrics sometimes get a little lazy, but at best spits fire and brimstone. The drawback here is that the songs don't hold together well. [Spring 2010, p.75]
