Reviews
"...LAID is gentle without being wimpy, smart without being snotty and moody without being morbid....its beautiful melodies are sung honestly, without a trace of distance....", "...LAID combines reflective, introspective musings with a heartening reassurance...mixing yearning and intelligence with a naked honesty....an endearing, devastating, honest triumph...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...LAID benefits from a lean, stripped down sound and it sparks a spontaneity sprung from James' penchant for studio improvisation...", "...Another endearing folk-pop- rock marvel from the cult James band, and this one could finally put them over stateside....A juicy alternative to the Alternative Parade..." - Rating: A-, "...Laid Is the (Relative) Crowd Pleaser--70 Minutes of Intelligent Moody Pop Songs..."
