"This disc represents quite a departure from my usual tastes in music. It's entirely acoustic, and features the cleverest, most insightful songwriting I've ever heard. The band's "light motif structure" revolves primarily around the differences between men and women, which they present in a hilarious, non-threatening manner. I mean it-- some of this stuff is laugh-out-loud funny. Additionally, the performances are flawless, with lots of skillful vocal harmonizing, and a great stage presence, as demonstrated in their interactions with the audience during the show at which this album was recorded. I don't have one bad thing to say about this disc. While I'm no expert on folk and acoustic music, these guys must be the pinnacle of the form; they're great ambassadors for the genre. My usual taste in music is speed-metal and hardcore, but the brilliance of this disc won me over. Do yourself a favor and buy this, whatever your usual preferences."
