(5 out of 5 stars)

"Previously raised as a resentful, doubting, and fearful evangelical 'Christian' and now turned aimlessly non-dogmatic atheist, I find this disc to be the perfect succor to my laissez-faire spiritual void. Gorgeous harmonizing and tasteful zonked out psychedelic experimentation really put you out in the forest and around the fire in New Hampshire with Brother Jesus. Lovely music and if you believe, as I do, that if God existed, he would probably never listen to most contemporary church music (i.e. adolescent acoustic 'singer-songwriter' desperate virgin b***s***) then you can probably get down with this. It's too bad the cover art for this reissue looks like whatever someone scraped off the cutting room floor for an Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians music video circa 12 years ago, but besides that crass disappointment, this is heavenly in a way that should unite the Chosen and the Sceptical alike for the coming egalitarian and non-patriarchical promised land. My similarly atheist Jew girlfriend and I did an hour long lights-out improv in our apartment to this thing, so if you need any more recommendation then you're probably going to Hell. Seriously buy this. Or download so as to avoid the art."
