    i love this cd. it includes some great bright eyes songs, live, which makes it that much better. the cover of feist's mushaboom and elliot smith's the biggest lie are amazing, and not available from any other album.

    Clearly demonstrates Obersts slow evolution to full-blown political country-rocker. Or something.

    i m not very fond of live albums, but i must say i like it a lot, its of course not like the real experience (i ve been to the one in zurich, which was nice, though the digital ash one in ulm was better...), but there are some nice songs, the feist cover is not his best, but funny.

    i love him for his genius mind and sentimental feelings expressed in his one-of-a-kind and amazing songs. I love conor for who he is, not what Rolling Stone tells us to like him for. take that bitches. true fans know all his cds and music, not just for the last 2 new releases.

    15 thrilling highlights. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.93]

    Motion Sickness is an unnecessary document that is almost disquieting in its puppet-like manipulation of the facts. It’s a live album masquerading as a bunch of inferior studio cuts.

    This is a rare and wonderful joy: a live album that even non-obsessives should embrace. [12 Nov 2005, p.45
