"Ellis Paul. God-like. Quite simply the greatest songwriter of all time. I can't express how talented this man is. Don't even think about it, just buy this album. Then buy everything else by him."
"The album and band that changed my musical landscape. Please trust me, buy this record. Pop it into your CD player, put on your headphones and close your eyes. Evokes a dark, rainy city soundscape."
"Conner Oberst aka Bright Eyes. This kid is an immense talent but boy, does he know it. It's kinda like he's possessed by William Shatner's ego. Not many can touch him as far as lyrics go."
"Disturbing explosion of masterful lyrics and lo-fi sonics. Beware, it's one of those 'Love it-Hate it' albums...You have never heard anything like it, nor will you ever in the future...Surreal."
"A teenybopper playing, writing and singing her own songs!!! Unheard of...A great album, pity she sold out and went pop on her follow up CD. Worth a listen though."
