I'm not really sure what the negativity of the other reviews is all about, but I'd say this is Ben's best effort yet.
He's made a geniune leap as an artist, with a transition from jug band/whiskey swillin' tunes to a more mature, bone-chilling sound. Always powerful and always honest. Give 40-watt bulb a listen and you'll hear what I mean.
I look forward to the next installment.

Weaver's oddly instrumented folk-country features the sort of percussive, disjointed sound Tom Waits created for "swordfishtrombones," together with the sort of rough-hewn, unblinking first-person narratives that made Chris Knight's "A Pretty Good Guy" so powerful. Weaver's singing mixes a dash of old-soul (ala Jack Ingram's earlier records) with a rural rendition of Tom Wait's weary downtown rasp. The guitars often careen and stab and loom, rather than strum or pick, and the sparse accompaniment of bass and drum creates backings that are often soundscapes rather than instrumental arrangements. It's a powerful combination with Weaver's words, defining a world in which even a contented relationship defines a point in time that's closer to death than to birth, and the charitable ending of a day in the city is forever poisoned by the thief at the day's start. This is challenging, depressing and disturbing music, with downbeat subjects, complex wordings, and unusual instrumentation. Fans of Waits, Knight, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and the like will likely certainly enjoy this. 3-3/4 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

I could go on and on, about how good this is and name drop like
The percusions remind me of Waits.I have only listened to this album by Ben but plan on getting the rest..
I know you can't listen to it here, and I never buy anything without listening to it, no matter how much hype someone writes.
so find it listen to it, his website is easy to find and has a few full mp3 samples. You won't regret it, I sure as hell didn't

Country noir at its strangest and weirdest - Great
I won't tell you how great this is and that you must buy it. I love it but I am realistic and I know many people won't and even some who may won't spend the proper amount of time... Read more

Was given good reviews on Sunday Morning. I threw it away it was so bad (and I like almost all music, from classics to country western).
