williebMar 25, 2003Not since I See A Darkness has someone so succesfully spun the thin thread that lies between hope and despondency. Far and away his best work in years; Jurado hits both points high and low (albeit more frequently) with comparable eclat.

UncutNot for the faint-hearted, Damien Jurado is a habit which won't necessarily bring joy to the listener. But once acquired, you will find it hard to kick. [Apr 2003, p.106]
