Entertainment WeeklyEqually suitable for a Wild West saloon or meth lab. [7 Apr 2006, p.63]
-
Not an album for a sunny day, What the Toll Tells can seem gloomy and filled with shadows.
-
A great record. A great work.
-
MagnetSure, the stories are worn and the whiskey is cut-rate, but the feeling is real. [#71, p.113]
-
Their sophomore album is surprisingly world-weary, but brims with an almost brutal rawness and betrays the pair’s striking talent for storytelling.
-
UrbA sincere winner. [Mar 2006, p.123]
-
Under The RadarEverything sung here is manufactured to conjure up the same bullshit sense of nostalgia that the band's James Joyce-inspired name is supposed to. [#12, p.93]
