I have to say that I can't agree with the reviewers who see this album as a big drop in quality from previous albums. I find nothing but joy in listening to this and think that several of the cuts rank among their best songs ever. I own all of their albums and the only two that I find at all sub par are their first, SMEARED, and their live album. All the others are at least very good. Instead of tarring the album with broad strokes, I would like to see the album's detractors talk more in specifics. ... Read More

This album was one of the best discoveries I've made in recent years. I do not understand all the reviewers who were disappointed by this album compared to their earlier work. I've heard Twice Removed, and this album is vastly superior, although I know this viewpoint is blasphemy to most Canadians. Each of these songs is extremely well crafted, so much so that I've spent time figuring out how to play them myself. I'd also like to note that as probably the biggest Beatles fan in North America, despite ... Read More

I've been spoiled by Sloan and their virtuosity on their earlier albums, with different sounds and experimentations, while still incorporating their terrific knack for writing melodic and memorable tunes.

When you compare this album to the first 4 Sloan masterpieces, this one will come up a bit short. Full of guitar licks and rock and roll tunes, Sloan is staying fairly middle of the road on this one. Though some good harmonies remain and hints of "old school" Sloan rear its head at times, this album simply doesn't make the impact that earlier ones did. I realize that many people thought the "Beatlesy" sound of the first 4 albums was too derivative, and that Sloan loves to "rock out", but I personally find the ... Read More

I recently saw sloan with jet. When Sloan played a better show than jet did(and jet rocked), I decided to check them out. This is the first sloan album i have bought. The entire album is great, my favorite tracks are live on, ready for you, and fade away. Sloan reminds me of the beatles, all four of them sing, they even sound like the beatles at times, but heavier. The bassist plays guitar, the guitarist plays bass, the lead singer/guitarist plays drums and the drummer sings/plays guitar. They are unbelievable ... Read More
