    This is passionate music, delivered with verve. [Mar 2011, p.104]
  2. Taken on its own merits, though, Volume One is mostly a success, and it's great to hear the alt-country vets sounding more alternative and more country than they have in years.
  3. It is wild, slightly unfocused, totally committed, and furiously paced. (Also, it is possibly a bit drunk). But, though this lifts some of the tracks up somewhat, few of them have the depth that one would have wished for.
  4. Uncut
    60
    It's likable enough, but pretty much interchangeable with the seven studio albums that preceded it. [Nov 2010, p.94]

    Fantastic start, weak finish, but best album in a decade by far! Look forward to part II coming in May.
