    This album is an incredible achievement. I have not been this entertained by music in awhile. Don't get me wrong, there have been some great albums recently (Helplessness Blues comes to mind), but I enjoyed every track on this album, never knowing what to expect next. Great music!

    This is definitely a great album. 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.

    A great Album. 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!

    The Felice Brothers are not what they used to be. The band has grown, and not all of the growing pains are pretty. Some of the tracks on the new album, such as the dirge "Dallas" and the plodding "River Jordan", could use some of Simone's energetic drumming.
