    Best album of 2018 and we are in February. This guy is a lyrical genius. His sophomore album was better than his near perfect debut. His vocal style and different layers of instrumentation make him an absolute rarity in music today. Heartbreak Junky and Rager are instant classics for him. Don't sleep on this amazing artist no one is better right now for real for real.

    After his somewhat bland series of covers of great tracks by female artists, I feared for the sophomore release. However, it's turned out to be a fantastic follow-up to the classic debut 'Dolls of Highland'. Craft remains one of the most intriguing young lyricists/songwriters I've heard in years. Can't recommend this enough to music lovers, especially if you're well-versed in early 70'sAfter his somewhat bland series of covers of great tracks by female artists, I feared for the sophomore release.

    Craft is an artist who values songcraft intensely, structuring his stanzas carefully but with an exuberant self-assuredness. The result of his work in the case of Full Circle Nightmare is a precession of songs that wear out their welcome in a brisk fashion.

    There's nothing remotely new here--and his hyper-ventilating yelp won't be for everyone--but it's a rollicking 40-minute ride. [Apr 2018, p.108]

    On the whole, though, the women Craft expends so much breath obsessing over drift in and out of his songs like cardboard cutouts from a bygone era, there to be lusted after and then blamed when they don’t fit into his fantasy.
