    Joseph Arthur has never disappointed me, I have yet to fully listen to every track but a quick run though has yield many potential gems. God bless you JA,

    The trick to listening to this album is to keep an open mind - don't compare it to his previous records and you won't be disapointed!

    Not near the revelation Our Shadows Will Remain was, but still solid. The album starts off really strong but there are a couple surprisingly weak tracks toward the end, something that Our Shadows didn't suffer from. Still, a really good listen.

    I'm sorry, but it is very hard for me to not compare this to his previous works. That's easier to say if an artists makes a drastic change in style. Arthur hasn't done that - he just stopped writing captivating/interesting songs.

    while still very good, but his older stuff was great.

    My initial disappointment when I compared this album to one of my all time favourites "Our Shadows Will Remain" has long disappeared. I love this album!!!! PS. Joseph absolutely rocks live.

    A dark, Velvet-y set. [22 Sep 2006, p.95]
  2. Billboard

    A mature effort that shines with nakedness and clarity.

    Without it ever deliberately going for the jugular, Nuclear Daydream is nevertheless an album that is difficult to shake out of your ears; moreover, it's one that only grows stronger with every repeated play.
