UncutFeb 22, 2018An album you can get lost in. [Mar 2018, p.24]
-
Feb 22, 2018This is his third solo album, and it’s well-written, breathtakingly pretty and as edgy as a cue ball.
-
Feb 23, 2018Ultimately, the album sounds confidently beautiful. While some may not be as memorable, songs like "Meadow Song" make this album one of S. Carey's best.
-
Feb 22, 2018Hundred Acres’ environment can occasionally border on the too-cozy and tender, and, as has been the case on previous records, certain songs simply wind down more than they come to any conclusion. Still, Carey ably shepherds the whole sentimental journey.
-
Feb 22, 2018As a whole, Hundred Acres is a pleasing listen with a warm-hearted, pastoral feel, even if its nuances sometimes get lost in the cracks.
-
Feb 27, 2018We know from songs like “Alpenglow,” from Range of Light, that he’s able to express real emotional grit in his songs. Carey gets there occasionally on this album, as when he restates his marital vows on “True North.” Too often, though, Hundred Acres is content to be pleasant.
-
Feb 22, 2018This time out, Carey sheds the vital to prioritize the simple, and simple melodies aren't substantial enough to fill A Hundred Acres.
