- Definite grower
After being thoroughly disappointed with Rilo Kiley's last album I approached this with some trepidation. Thankfully this turned out to be a good listen - not immediate but a definite 'grower' after a few plays. Songs such as 'Pretty Bird' and 'Godspeed' are gorgeous, for example. I've even grown to quite like Elvis Costello's contribution to 'Carpetbaggers' which at first struck me as rough and too raw. Now I think I think it fits the song. All in all, worth a listen. Jenny Lewis is a talented writer ... Read More

- Not as good as the last
"Not what the last album was"
I've waited a while to review this album, in the hope that it would be a real grower. It's alright, in fact it's got a couple of great songs on it, not least Jack Killed Mom which is a classic. But it's not anywhere the classic album that the last one was. I couldn't get enough of the first album, it was in my cd player for about a year. This has been in my cd player simply because it was Jenny Lewis. Sadly the song Acid Tongue sounds like a rehash of Born Secular, ... Read More
Rating: - "That difficult second album" syndrome strikes
Jenny Lewis deserves credit for trying to not just replicate "Rabbit Fur Coat" and as other reviewers have noted this is rockier in its overall outlook. And her voice is still excellent. Sadly however, the songs just aren't as good and the album is lacking something overall.
The best songs come in a row in the middle: See Fernando, Godspeed and Carpetbaggers,her duet with Elvis Costello. Elsewhere however there are just fairly average efforts, with a couple of songs sounding like they are attempts ... Read More

- BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR?
This really is a great album. Rockier than the first album this grows on you with every listen. The vocals really are fresh and crisp sounding and she has a superb talent in interpreting a song.
The guest appearances are great but in no way essential and I am not really sure were neccessary. She doesn't need anyone else to bolster her sound.
The packaging, as commented by others, is diabolical. Had I have known I would have downloaded it but I like to see a c.d. in its position in my racks. ... Read More
Rating: - Great music, but the packaging - really!!
Jenny Lewis' follow up to the fabulous Rabbit Fur Coat. On first listen, it doesn't live up to its predecessor, nor Lewis' 4 albums with Rilo Kiley. However, repeated listens uncover a diverse selection of songs, with several guest vocalists, most prominently one with Elvis Costello appearing on one of the stand out songs, Carpetbaggers.
Attention must be drawn however to the packaging - it really is dire with the sleeve being exactly what you would expect from a DVD or CD giveaway with a newspaper. I've nothing ... Read More
