UncutUnder the direst circumstances, he has painted his masterpiece. [Album of the Month, Sep 2003, p.96]
-
Entertainment WeeklyIf The Wind is unsentimental, it's also happily unhygienic, sounding as ramshackle and energized as you'd hope a nothing-left-to-lose last blast would. [5 Sep 2003, p.75]
-
Everyone who says this isn't a sentimental record is right. But it admits sentiment, hold the hygiene, and suggests that he knows more about love dying than he did when he was immortal.
-
BlenderIt's not so much what Zevon says as how he says it: with an air of ragged, nothing-to-lose spontaneity. [Sep 2003, p.133]
-
If the lyrics generally lack the literary precision of Zevons best work, the songs take on greater weight given the circumstance under which they were recorded.
-
A sturdy reminder of why Warren will be missed.
-
I can't tell if The Wind is a final bid for immortality or some kind of dirty joke.
