    The band's most consistent, well-written effort yet.

    Music this laid-back but this deep, so full-bodied and yet so restrained, could only have been made by Lambchop.

    Regardless of how much noodling, compromising or second guessing this trio does, Martsch and crew remain the best band America is not listening to.
