"This album is the perfect album for a Sunday afternoon. It is the perfect album for quiet depression, or contemplation, or a long car trip somewhere, under the stars or through the scenery of midwestern cornfields. It goes from quiet to poppish, although never loud, and back to quiet again. Though it abandons some of the glammy, sometimes silly (but always lovely) personality of Tyson's band, the Chainsaw Kittens, it is a far more personal and emotional (and perhaps intense?) album. Tyson also takes FULL advantage of his stunningly beautiful voice, which in itself is enough cause to buy this cd. In his albums with the (fabulous) Chainsaw Kittens, Tyson has established the fact that he knows a great deal about how to end an album, to the point where it is a challenge for me not to skip directly to the end whenever I get my hands on some new Kittens material, but the last three songs of this album...all I can say is wow. Motorcycle Childhood is more than a worthwhile purchase, and you might as well buy it here because (tragically) it is extremely difficult to find in stores."

A magnificient chill record for those long drives
