    You can't help but think that The Felice Brothers were stuck in a Catch-22 regarding the development of their sound; damned if they did, damned if they didn't. On the strength of this offering it's clear that while the mix isn't quite there yet, the approach being taken is worth pursuing.

They have expanded their sound to include digital effects and a more modern approach while maintaining that Band/Dylan hybrid that has formed the basis of their sound. The music is still complex and chaotic and the subject matter is quirky and interesting. Even better live. Just buy it!… Full Review »

After seeing these guys for the very first time, I bought this CD. The drum machine sometimes seems to be more of a crutch than a springboard to me.
