MDavisJan 12, 2006This album is incredible. The first 8 songs from Akron/Family are bracing and beautiful. You will jarred by the way the beauty of the opening track "Awake" slams into the mind-blowing rock of "Moment" and from there it's hard to quit listening.

Awards & Rankings
-
Gira's half is solid, but Akron/Family can't help but demand most of the credit for the record's artistic heft and overall cohesiveness.
-
A rare, perfect instance of collaboration, where two distinct sets of talents merge into something larger than its parts.
-
None of the tracks are more noteworthy than anything on Sing "Other People", Angels' latest and straightest LP, and the foreshortened format disables development. But Gira's fatherly measuredness is a nice foil to Akron's hyperkinetic mini-opera.
