HughM.May 19, 2008As a long time admirer of the go-betweens, I was much saddened by the untimely death of Grant McLennan. What Robert has done is continue the legacy, and broaden it wonderfully. A terrific album!

Bittersweet and poignant, The Evangelist is Robert Forster's most fully realized, seamless, and masterfully articulated solo record yet.
-
It's not fair to Forster, of course, who rose to the occasion with his warmest and most welcoming solo album. But even beyond the imherant emotional baggage, songs such as 'Did She Overtake You' or the slightly bombastic 'Don't Touch Anything' still sound like they could have used a pass through someone else's filter.
-
The album impresses as much for its craft as for the way it allows Forster to honor McLennan's passing even as it advances his own work.
