Reviews

Rolling Stone (1/4/01, p.107) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000" - "...These songs are powerful....Alexakis chronicles the ups and downs of American fatherhood, husbandhood, sonhood and just plain asshole-hood."

Q (9/00, p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...12 understated, beautiful songs, which place Alexakis' always appealing vocals in the setting they deserve....Everclear's finest moment....What a surprise."

CMJ (7/10/00, p.22) - "...Tries to paint a broad, humorous picture of American life using a far larger palette of sounds than the group has used before....the hooky, mid-tempo songs will not disappoint [their] legions of fans."

Melody Maker (8/8/00, p.50) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...It's good. It's a glutton's pop-fest....this album hits heights Ween would dig....Utterly repellent in intent. Utterly gorgeous to the touch. Love it."
