    sage francis is a massive tool. he needs to stop crying and pretending that he's a rapper. i've met the guy, total wuss and he heckles and says things like, "since i'm the only guy in the room with a record deal...." needs to grow up personally and then maybe he can make another good album.

    His fire-and-brimstone confessionals are as complex as they are venomous. [Mar 2005, p.140]
  2. PopMatters

    Sage transcends genre limitations and expectations with restless energy and poetic turns of phrase that keep his mystery (or, arguably, his lack of defined answers) intriguing rather than irritating.

    There are certain instances when Francis' politics overreach, like on the annoying "Dance Monkey,” but for the most part, “A Healthy Distrust” is this artist's most impressive album yet.
