RichardTMar 21, 2006Where to begin? Deep lyrics that defy their age and a racket that defies their sum, add to this the fact they are named after a James Joyce story AND that they offer true tales from San Fransisco and it becomes apparent there is little excuse not to get involved.

HubertusZMar 15, 2006Great songs. Great drive. The dynamics of mainly guitars and drums works very well.

KonstantinLMar 7, 2006Their previous album 'The Throes' was a classic, but this one disappointed me slightly. There are some great tracks on this record but often they are cancelled out by songs much weaker than anything on the debut. Patchy but worthwhile for fans.

ericawFeb 27, 2006After The Throes, my expectations were high for the second album, and I was pleased with the result. If you like the style of Two Gallants, you'll love this album.

Their sophomore album is surprisingly world-weary, but brims with an almost brutal rawness and betrays the pair’s striking talent for storytelling.

FilterAppealingly poetic. [#19, p.99]

If the album has flaws, it has great and unique strengths. Difficult, maybe, but captivating.
