4.0 out of 5 stars
This release is for the Byrds
Saturnine have managed to resurrect that familiar Rickenbacker strum and drum made popular by the Byrds. Since I always loved McGuinn and company, I really enjoy this release. They've managed to pillage the past in a respectful fashion and their original material is good enough to stand on its own.

Not a Great "Pillar."
Saturnine's full length debut album, "Wreck at Pillar Point," is one of the greatest gloom rock albums ever made.

Not a Great "Pillar.", July 9, 2001
This review is from: American Kestrel (Audio CD)
Saturnine's full length debut album, "Wreck at Pillar Point," is one of the greatest gloom rock albums ever made. Unfortunately, they've been moving farther away from its sound and style ever since then. "American Kestrel" completes their transformation from mopes to bland folkies. This wouldn't be a bad thing if the songwriting were up to their earlier standards. Alas, only "The Wind is Blowing Like an Outlaw" is up to their earlier work. The rest of the songs are pleasent enough but ultimately forgettable. Not a "Slightly Less Than Even" (from "Pillar") in the bunch. Also at 33 minutes, it is a pretty slight effort. I rate it 3 rather than 2 only because none of the songs are actively bad.
