    Furman's outright ramshackle approach has lost its charm as his songs have become messy and overbearing. These songs are fun but confusing. They lack the allure of the straight-talking, catchy riffs which made his name.

    *Ezra Furman shows more passion with his latest album (and even more so in live shows). He's come out more publicly and the lyrics/sound of this album perfectly capture so many aspects and emotions of queer life.
    *Culturally, this queer album is so relevant now. As a performer, Ezra comes off more real and relate-able than any other artist.
