Patrick Watson has really grown over the past few records and it is immediately apparent in this album.

There are still the haunting and magical piano lines and there seems to be more focus then the previous album Close To Paradise. Bass,Piano,Banjo,Drums,Bells,Violin, and many more are the instruments mold perfectly to Patrick's melodies.

Overall this is easily one of Patrick Watsons finest albums and possibly one of the finest albums of 09.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Artist to Watch, September 26, 2009

Not that I would know anything about it, it must be hard to be in a band these days given how many are trying to be heard. It ain't 1980 any more for sure.

I personally think that music overall is in a transitional period so it will be interesting to see what happens. I am not convinced that the "album" format is entirely relevant these days but there are many a band who still employ its form and thank the stars that Patrick Watson does.

I think he understands the pace of an album. This is an album that has drama, texture and depth to it. It has expanse and intimacy all at the same time.

It's an album I come back to time and time again since its release and therefore have recommended it to many a friend.

It's a superb album.

Wooden Arms is a great album, I'd definitely recommend it. I have to admit I enjoyed Close to Paradise a little more because of the vibe that it gave off. Wooden Arms is fairly similar, but different enough to avoid being repetitive. Watson is amazing
