Amazon.com's Best of 2001:
The phonograph crackling that opens Pete Yorn's debut album is an appropriate gesture for an artist hailed as the best thing to come out of South Jersey since Bruce Springsteen. Actually, Yorn doesn't sound a thing like Springsteen, but he does possess a classic pop craftsmanship shared by tradition-minded singer-songwriters such as Neilson Hubbard and Elliot Smith. On the cool, infectious "Life on a Chain," Yorn's relaxed crooning evokes the spirit of Bruce Cockburn, while "Simonize," ostensibly a love song penned by Jack the Ripper, calls to mind Big Star-period Alex Chilton. Rhythmically, the part-time drummer and multi-instrumentalist (he scored the Farrelly brother's movie Me, Myself and Irene and plays most of the instruments here himself) leans toward the drone lilt of early New Order and Joy Division, resulting in a smooth fusion of American and Anglo influences that make Yorn a new artist well worth watching. --Bill Forman

This cd will take you back to your free days in college and every relationship you had with the opposited sex. Each song grows on you with every listen. This cd just haunts me. Genius.

Simply put just a great debut. One that IMHO Pete Yorn hasn't topped yet. Yorn is a very versatile singer/songwriter. He gets compared to Springsteen alot, although aside from the fact he's from Jersey and a great songwriter like the Boss, I don't really see any similarity. His voice at times sounds a little like Eddie Vedder. He can do the upbeat stuff like "Life on A Chain" and "Closet". Great slower tunes like "Just Another", "Lose You". And he can do flat out rockers like "For Nancy", and ... Read More

pete yorn has released three major albums, and it seems like everyone is agreeing his first one, musicforthemorningafter, is still the best. he has light tunes that are good for sunny days or reflecting on things. he doesn't come off as obnoxious or conceited, and he doesn't seem to care if he's on mtv or not. i love this album. "life on a chain", "strange condition", and "closet" are the favorites from this album.

I remember reading a review once which called Pete Yorn "the best thing to come out of New Jersey since Bruce Springsteen." In my mind, Kevin Smith was the best thing to come out of New Jersey since Bruce Springsteen, but Pete Yorn is definitely the best thing to come out of Jersey since Kevin Smith. Yorn became the critical darling of the music scene in 2001 when, at age 27, he released his debut album, "musicforthemorningafter." It's not hard to see why; at the start of the new millennium, pop ... Read More
