Editorial Reviews

I've been waiting anxiously for this release, biting my fingernails and clutching my poor broken heart. And Lucero does not dissapoint. This album has a soul that aches in songs like "sad and lonely" and "the only one". Its heart beats to thumping rhythms best exemplified in songs like "tears don't matter much" and "tonight ain't gonna be good". This album is every part of you that's ever been hurt, left bleeding on the floor. It's more polished than the two preceeding it (the self-titled "Lucero" and the sophomore "Tennessee"), but that doesn't take away its throbbing heartache. Which is a good thing, trust me. If you attend a lot of their live shows, you'll recognize a lot of the songs (including "joining the army," which I've only heard once in the seven times I've seen them live). So "That Much Further West" isn't a departure for Lucero, but it's not exactly the same old, same old either. What it is is a collection of songs so powerful that you have to remind yourself to breathe while listening to them. Get this record. Your heart and soul need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Album, August 28, 2004

I see that the magazine reviews compared this to the Replacements and Pete Yorn. That's some pretty good songwriting company.

To me, though, the better comparison is to Son Volt's first. Alt-country with no weak songs on the album.

One of the better albums I've bought in a long time.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: That Much Further West (Audio CD)

my older brother listens to this because he got dumped by his girlfriend. it sounds ok, i think. he got over her he says because of this band and then he got a tattoo on his arm that says lucero so i think this is a good band. i just hope that they don't break up because then my brothers tattoo will be stupid. so are girls he says.
