This is a real loose rock n roll album that seems to be permanently on the verge of colapse, much in the same way as the best trux stuff and reminisant of Alex Chiltons "like flies on sherbert".The songs shoot off in freeform directions but always return to good old rock n roll. The best thing Hagerty's done since Accelerator.

... This record is magnificent. Yes, it's a little on the short side, but I kinda like that, personally. It's all about quality not quantity. And "Rockslide", in a more perfect world, would have the THE Hit Single of the Year of Our Lord 2002 CE. Anyway, buy this ... and line Hagerty's and Drag City's pockets with reams of cold hard cash.

Remember, "Only God can rescue (you)" - NMH

This is a very good rock and roll album. It's got Neil Hagerty's signature sound collage style of production all over it, but it also has a live, jammy sort of feel to it. Hagerty and his band really get down on a couple of numbers in that snakey guitar boogaloo that characterized so much of Royal Trux's material. On a couple of songs he even sings with a female backing vocalist, in place of jennifer herrema no doubt.

If you liked his first album then you'll hate this. What is this new cd anyway. It's barely longer than some EP's. The music is not very good. Needs to work on lyrics big time. The first cd the music actually sounded like it worked and was arraged to work. This new cd is nonsense. I liked some royal trux stuff and his first solo album but this new cd is quite horrible. He starts of saying "thanks alot" on the song gratitude ... by the time you listen to the whole cd and the music starts back at number 1 where he says "thanks alot"... you get the feeling as though he is speaking directly to you, by saying, "thanks a lot (i have taken your money now leave)".... THANKS ALOT!!
