Somewhat of a letdown. I hear that Mark Kozelek has quite a devout following... but I don't exactly see why. He has a nice voice, and his guitar-work is obviously above par... but that's all he has going for him (on this album at least). I've heard better lyrics, and there is almost no change in emotion or sound from song to song. Hopefully if I listen to some of his earlier work I might find something to hold my interest... but judging from this album, I don't expect much. 3.3/5
