Apr 19, 2015Great album. Not quite everything's a winner, but it's highlights are undeniable. This album has great song writing that goes hand in hand with suitably crisp and warm instrumentals to successfully create a variety of different and involving soundscapes.
Unless you're bitter from having been stabbed in the eye with a foreign object, it's an easy recommendation. -

Jun 13, 2015This album, whilst perhaps not the most exciting or rivetingly-experimental album out there, has well-written songs aplenty. The songs rumble along nicely, brilliantly written and performed, and you don't have to think too much about them. Also, don't underestimate how difficult it is to write lyrics this good when your subject matter is limited to wrestling.

May 6, 2015This is another great Mountain Goats album. If you are a fan you probably have this already but if not, got get it asap. If you’re unfamiliar, this is as good a place as his masterwork The Sunset Tree to start, as this is like the sequel, but coming from a seemingly lighthearted place with the wrestling theme.

MojoApr 22, 2015Witty, tender pieces to charm even those for who wrestling means Shirley Crabtree. [May 2015, p.100]
