    I love Neko's work with the New Pornographers, and like a lot of other alt-country artists, Lucinda Williams, so given that and the great reviews this album has garnered, I find myself shocked how little I like this ablum... Don't by the other posters praising this albums emotionalism...I find it very cold and distant, and musically outside of the overdubbed vocals on Star I love Neko's work with the New Pornographers, and like a lot of other alt-country artists, Lucinda Williams, so given that and the great reviews this album has garnered, I find myself shocked how little I like this ablum... Don't by the other posters praising this albums emotionalism...I find it very cold and distant, and musically outside of the overdubbed vocals on Star Witness, which are gorgeous, and moments of Hold On, nothing here engages me. And there's a weird, I don't know, almost maybe David Lynch-like bizarreness to some of the lyrics...maybe this is just the way Neko does it on her own...if so, I'll wait for the next NP… Expand

    Moving futher away from her early alt-country sound has sharpened Case's songwriting instincts. [10 Mar 2006, p.68]
