ReggieEMar 12, 2003I know, I know the voice ain't too pretty but neither is life. The songs grow on you though and Ryan Adams' production is top-notched. This will be THE sleeper album of the year.

Awards & Rankings
-
The voice asserts itself as the record sinks in, however, and not only does each song stand out, but the production variegates a sonic grandeur grounded in the rock verities.
-
As you're listening, the songs begin to sound more and more like play-acting, as if Malin's trying to sound like his heroes more than he's trying to create anything that's all his own.

MojoMalin and Adams have managed to create a record whose fearless classicism is all part of the point. [Dec 2002, p.114]
