    It's a thoroughly likable effort.

    The album contains a lot of strong material, made even better by Hammond's tendency to add a little extra guitar filigree every few minutes, just to make the songs even grander and more generous.

    It's a reversal of the usual wild and weird direction of extra-curricular albums: it's more commercial than Room On Fire! [Nov 2006, p.112]

    I am very impressed with Hammond's vocals and knack for catchy tunes. I never even knew he could speak, let alone make an album this good.

    Nothing special here. Another reviewer is exactly right about the Sean Lennon influences. They are too easy to spot and ruin an album that could have been okay.… Expand
