Jun 25, 2012The contemporary beats and intermitted uses of techno make this album youthful. For instance, Stupid has a stoic loop that runs through Womack's raspy cries and a sophisticated piano melody. It's a really beautiful blend of new and old.

Jun 19, 2012While the lyrical content can be a little prescriptive in places, all of Womack's contributions are frank, honest and humble

Jun 12, 2012More studio sympathy and less technical trickery might've made The Bravest Man in the Universe a minor classic.

Jun 26, 2012[The production] intrudes on the songwriting, distracts the listener, and interferes with what are otherwise solid and sometimes deeply moving performances.
-
Jun 13, 2012The lack of development and subtlety is a frequent problem for the album.
