5.0 out of 5 stars Here comes Reverend Jack, March 24, 2006

By	Paul Farr "Copyrider" (Sharpsburg, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like your rock sparse, bluesy, smart, and rough around the endges, you can't go wrong with Timbuk 3, and this is one of their best. A lot of variation here, from the smash-bang funkiness of Reverend Jack to the freakishly catchy Sample the Dog and the dreamy darkness of Easy. In fact, the one drawback to this album is that it's hard to sustain a mood when listening to it, but the tunes are great, and some (like Jack and Sample) are absolutely indispensible.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wry look at life..., June 3, 2005

By	A. Ort "aorto" (Youngstown, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are familiar with their first album, this one carries on in a similar vein. It is so easy to listen to with catchy guitar work and penetrating lyrics with just a splash of cynicism and a whole lotta irony.

It's a bit more personal than the first album, less about the outside world and politics, less social commentary, and more songs about people and strange situations. 'Sample the Dog' makes it worth the purchase. Overall, a great sophomore effort.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, February 22, 2003

By	the stoat (manchester,england) - See all my reviews

You may never have heard of this band - but try this CD and you'll want to hear more. They offer a cynical and wry way of looking at life put to smooth folk-rock traditional tunes. It's a laid back way of music for people with an intellectual laid back way of life.
