Reviews
"Singer/guitarist Ben Ottewell's songs are stirring, sometimes-raucous affairs powered by the emotional depth of his backwoods croak and colored by banjo, lap-steel and harmonica accents.", "Idealistic ballads such as 'Charley Patton Songs' and 'Notice' build acoustic, slightly psychedelic layers on exquisite tunes...", "They land a bull's-eye, as career high points like the peppy power-pop 'Girlshapedlovedrug' and peacenik sing-along 'See the World' point to a renovated Gomez..." -- Grade: B+, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Whether upping the country quotient, going power-pop or self-consciously striving too hard to be American, they remain their own one-off creation.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Gomez can pile on the power or drop to a whisper with the dramatic aplomb of the Pixies, Jeff Buckley or Led Zep.", "If it's possible to both whisper and be wildly accessible, Gomez attempts just that on its fifth album by utilizing Gil Norton's production hand to bring out the simple elegance of its roots-rock sound."
