    This is my favorite Silkworm release. I like it better than Firewater, but than maybe Firewater was too deep for me. Lifestyle isn't too introspective, but it's really interesting and I think anyone would like it a lot. Good mix on the songs. Interesting piano licks. Good vocals, drumming, and guitar. What more can I say? Lifestyle is good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Lifestyle of J. Alfred Proof-Rock
    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2000
    No history, please. You know they are nice fellas from Montana/Seattle and that Tim Migett sounds like S. Malkmous, and that they have really good drum tone on Libertine and Developer, and despite not-so-good drum recording on Firewater, it's still the best record of the 90's by far. So, this record is, not to sound too grandiose, almost as good. Darn tootin' good to be exact. Very beautiful, opening with a song of near-perfection, "Contempt" and then Tim gets wistful and pretty and has a skinny, concaved chest, hair white from the sun. I miss running around in barefeet myself. This album seems like the direct relationship that I have with that memory of my barefeet and the music that I love in this life. Sure, they sound like the Band now, but that's only a high compliment. I think Sticky Fingers is a better reference point if Mick and Keith had really been into Husker Du instead of heroin. I think every family in the Midwest should own this album, at least during the autumn. Hope you like it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a punch to the gut

    silkworm yanked themselves out of the doldrums with this record, their finest since firewater. while the second half gets a little shakey, the album opens VERY strongly with two of the catchiest, hardest rocking tunes of the band's catalog: "slave wages" and "treat the new guy right". the middle of the album is fleshed out by a pair of warm acoustic numbers, and the end of the album greatly benefits from a well-chosen faces cover. if one were a cynic, one might call this silkworm's comeback album.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The worm chews a new leaf.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2000
    Silkworm has by far proven that the pathos, ethos and logos of indy rock go far beyond the confines of a disgruntled singers getting smashed and smashing guitars for attention. To them the overdose that does the world in comes comes not from a hot needle, rather from the awkward midnight indescretions of a midwestern youth who dreams of the big life outside the small town. (slave wages, plain) They are showing that even when we make it to the american dream, there is alot more dreaming to do. But they do it with the grit, honesty, and depth that make them the future of the scene. get this record, listen to it. live it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars I Love The Lifestyle...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2002
    One of the better records of 2001, was this, American indie-rockers Silkworm's latest release. 'Lifestyle' features twelve tracks, including a cover of 'Ooh La La' by The Faces. These twelve tracks have a continuous flow, with a indie rock meets garage meets country feel, sort of like what would happen if the principal members of Sebadoh, Pavement and Crazy Horse were to collaborate. The record has been produced by Steve Albini, and his touch creates a sense of lowend and clarity that further improve 'Lifestyle's charms. In particular, 'Treat The New Guy Right', 'The Bones' and 'Yr Web' are fantastic tunes that deserve to be heard by a wide audience. 'Lifestyle', while not a radical diversion from Silkworm's back catalogue, is interesting and creative enough to still be fresh after being given many listens that an album of this calibre deserves.
