Reviews"...Among America's Modern Primitives Mark Linkous Is Close to Pre-Eminent.", 8 out of 10 - "...A wonderful record...of backwood blues....Every moment thrums with micro-activity...", Ranked #22 in Nme's 50 "Albums of the Year 2001"., "Working with a full band for the first time instead of home-recording at his farm, Linkous turns in the most gorgeous and full-fledged songcraft of his career.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Excellent....combining droll lyrical insights with various permutations of guitar, keyboards, drums and electronica...", 6 out of 10 - "...A thick candy-and-sandpaper shell of weird old keyboards, strings, and liberally applied distortion concealing Dave Fridmann's frail Virginia murmur and surreal images...", "...This ISA Mood Record for Sure-But One That's Not Without Its Mood Swings...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Slow and elegiac....The music is stately and deep as good loam, built around a few measures repeated stolidly with a kind of back-country resignation....peculiarly evocative.", Included in Magnet's "20 Best Albums of 2001"., 7 Out of 10-"...An Enchanting Record..."
