Not the best...

"but certainly not bad. there are a few standout tracks: "one soul now," "my wild child," "no long journey home" and "slide. some others, "from hunting ground...," and "he will call you baby" are rather unimpressive. the bonus cd is better than the main cd. their cover of "darkness, darkness" is one of their best songs.
their new cd, coming out summer 2005, is mostly covers...that is something to look forward to."

"they are back. after a disapointing,very unstructured album/"OPEN"
Michael,Margo and the boys are back in the form that made us fans and that
made them quasi-famous. top notch,tight musicianship and crisp recording
of a very good set of angular electric musings and thoughtful lyrics.
"A DUSTY SIMPLE MINDED PIECE OF FICTION. STRANGE AND ODD,TWISTED AS A
CONTRADICTION, A GLITTERING JEWEL OF FLAWS AND CELEBRATION"/ song: WHY THIS ONE. there are a very few weaker tracks that I personally find myself skipping over "JESUS,SWEET JESUS,CAN YOU PASS ME TO YOUR PA?"
but overall this is a very solid effort from a very solid Canadian/American band.
I am very gratified to see these folks come back this strongly."
