    What a mess. For my first time hearing Wednesday, I only find myself trying to let myself go with the flow, which is a nice exercise of momentary explosiveness that simply stains the walls out of control. By the time you grasp a sense of what is going on, it's still hard to take control over what it can be enjoyed on the album, and by the time you have your mind sent, the album ends with aWhat a mess.

    Their commitment to the people they write about and their instincts about crafting music to match make this a stunningly powerful work that may well turn out to be a masterpiece.

    Pain remains a fertile ground for compelling art, but the brilliance of Rat Saw God lies in how the band also captures the resistant luminance within that pain. The characters in these songs suffer, but Hartzman draws them from places of empathy and honesty.

    Not everything works on Raw Saw God. The rootsy, Southern-fried Chosen to Believe sounds more Hootie than Doobie, though its meditation on love and acceptance saves its pop-leaning misdirection. It's a testament to Hartzman's nuanced lyrical bent, whose articulate observations are intriguing and even funny rather than affected.
