    Too often, songs drift off into a fog of vague guitar atmospherics. [Aug/Sep 2001, p.130]

    It's a Wonderful Life raises the bar already set high by fellow post-modern woodsmen types like Grandaddy and Mercury Rev. [#51, p.116]

    The most focused Sparklehorse effort yet, the album flows along with the grace of a river occasionally stirred by a rapid or two.
