Feels like an honest treat for longtime fans.
-
Like Greatest Palace Music, the new album demonstrates how Oldham's songs can stand up to varied interpretations, even if he's the one doing the interpreting.
-
This is a live album the way it ought to be produced: sincere and surprising, a true alternative to your well-worn copies of the studio recordings.
-
Summer succeeds largely because it forces Oldham’s songs into unfamiliar positions.
-
Entertainment WeeklyJust sloppy enough to make the magic seem magical--when they don't simply sound sloppy. [18 Nov 2005, p.135]
-
The album captures an anger and regret intense enough to nearly bruise listeners and attendees, but also manages to preserve the pristine trembles in Oldham's throat.
-
Instead of amplifying and strengthening the already delicate structure of his songs, Oldham and company strangely strip the songs of any emotion.
