New Moon is thankfully, wonderfully full.
-
FilterNew Moon is Smith at his musical best: quiet, humble, and most of all, honest. [#25, p.96]
-
The 24 songs... are characteristically and uniformly excellent.
-
The albums Smith released before his probable suicide in 2003 had a bruised, fragile quality, and these sparse songs... are no different.
-
What we ultimately get with New Moon feels in part like a Best Of retrospective, but also in part a surreptitious and rather voyeuristic peek at Smith's innermost workings and thoughts.
-
New Moon is a near yearbook, a simple reminder of the talent and fruition of Steven Paul Smith, friend, comedian, and one of the greatest songwriters of this generation.
-
You can hear him trying to figure things out, and that’s the most lasting and vital aspect of New Moon.
