    It may be the antithesis of Shiny Happy People, but this Beat Poetry is never anything less than compelling.

    These songs coalesce into visionary rabble-rousing. [May 2020, p.106]

    Buck's guitars are supportive throughout, inspired by Haines's alternative universes. [Apr 2020, p.94]

    This music shows that Buck is a very good friend to have in the studio; he knows how give a song the setting it needs, and this is a dark but richly entertaining delight.

    The songs are good. Both musicians are pros. The execution is offhandedly excellent, like they’re not even trying but nailing it anyway. But you never get the sense that these songs matter all that much to either principal. It’s a parlor trick, a juggling act that they could do all day without dropping anything, but the stakes don’t seem to be very high.
