3.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Black in bar rock mode, August 17, 2004
this is Frank Black in bar rock mode. after his first few solo albums, he adapted a more stripped down basic sound and started recording direct to 2 channels which gives it all a very live feeling. this is good at times, but i personally miss some of the more arranged and well thought out moments of music from his past albums. nonetheless, this album delivers some fine dusty rock and roll with that quirky Frank Black twist. the cd starts off fine with the rolicking "All My Ghosts" and keeps up the feelings on "Back to Rome" and "Dog Gone." somewhere in the middle of this album i start to get the feeling that i'm hearing the same song over and over. and the lyrics begin to grate on me a bit. they're not really bad lyrics, in themselves, but they are missing something. they feel sort of lazily written. perhaps it goes along with the general laid back rockin' feel of the album. overall, this is nothing essential. but it is a good time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight up rock 'n roll, August 16, 2003
By A Customer
I've heard some people call this record a "half-baked effort" and the only reason I'm writing this review is to tell anyone who likes their rock tight, raw and just plain excellent to GET THIS RECORD! Probably the best rock record I've heard in five years. The live to two track recording really strips it down and shows this band for what it really is, WONDERFUL! Thank you, that is all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some great hard rock.
This is great music for rockin out in the car. Not as idiocyncratic as most of his other albums but, solid rock none- the-less.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard edge, great riffs
Don't buy this CD expecting anything like the Pixies. There is not any randomly off-key guitar outbursts, but instead the raw power of a band recording live. Read more
