"I like all of their albums, but I love this one. One of my favorite albums from beginning to end by anyone. The music is very layered and full with great instrumentation from mostly acoustic guitars and piano and harmonica. Very soulful and smart from first note to the last."

"You know that experience you have when you put on a new album and instantly you GET IT. I mean... really, deep-down just get it... like it connects to somewhere deep inside of you? That is the experience I had with this album. I mean, YES, I was also scratching my head and going "THIS is BRMC?!" The sound is SUCH a departure from their other albums. You are simply forced to listen to this album on its own. It cannot be held up and judged next to their other albums (also great, btw) because it's almost like their split personality - a band that belongs in Mississippi in 1935 in a chain gang somewhere. How such an uber-white band of Jesus & Mary Types can wring out such soulful pain is beyond me. But GET this album.

All the songs are incredible but the soul-wrenching songs are: Restless Sinner, Fault Line, Open Invitation, Devil's Waitin', Gospel Song, Sympathetic Noose and The Line (wait, that's almost the whole thing!) See what I mean?

Seriously! Get this album NOW!"
