    I feel this is their best in a while. Their harmonies and style changes are brilliant. this is a band that has never really missed a beat over all these years. One of the real gems in all of music. Buy the double disc pack. The acoustic cd is amazing!

    Too many critics have prejudged this band. They've locked it and its sounds in their angst-ridden teenage past. But the Indigo Girls have grown up and their music and lyrics have matured. It is time for some listeners to get out those Q-Tips, clean out that self-absorbing nostalgic ear gunk, and listen anew to this wonderful album.

    Amy and Emily have only gotten better with each and every CD they release. They go from a rockin' feel good song, to a heart touching ballad within a few strums. Being independent now, they are able to come across to their fans more freely. Definitely my favorite!

    Poseidon and the Bitter Bug is not only solid all the way through, it feels fresh, clean, new, and chock-full of beauty.

    A fascinating listen on its own, Poseidon flashes back in fine fashion on how the Indigo Girls sounded two decades ago.

    Though audibly relaxed in their freedom from the label system, the duo delivers a few real emotional stunners.
