This is the kind of album that grows on you more and more with repeated listenings. Lots of interesting textures and lyrics, and the music is actually pretty catchy, though not in a radio-friendly way.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Penn album, January 17, 2006

Over the past 18 years almost all of Penn's records have been consigned to the sideline while far less capable songwriters hog the spotlight, and let me tell you, this doesn't sit well with fans of MP. Not that Penn needs glory to be brilliant, it just would have been nice to see the man receive the attention he so richly deserved. That said, thank the maker he's still making records, albeit at a leisurely pace. Find this underrated gem and hear what you've been missing.

I'm like to hunt for stuff that sounds lyrical and professional, yet "not what I hear on the radio". This CD has a nice blend of poetic vocals and sound effects. It is slightly folk-y... but it does rock just enough to be lively, in an REM kind of way. Recommended.
