Apr 19, 2020I liked the musical backing and the instrumentation, but I just can't get past the vocals and lyrics. The vocals were way too raw for me and the lyrics felt pretty amateur, in my opinion. The songs all sound pretty similar, there's not much contrast and there's no stand out songs that I particularly liked. This album was just not for me.

The WireApr 28, 2020There’s no stridency, special pleading or chewing of scenery, just gentle enactments. This is what folk music used to do before Volk became toxic. Malkmus represents his characters via traditional techniques. [May 2020, p.54]
