Pretty much one Adult Top 40 hit after another. Too bad that chart success didn't happen in reality for Mr. Arthur, but hot damn this album soars anyway. Also, "Devil's Broom" may have the best chorus this side of Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris". Album rules.

| 4.0 excellent | Tom R. CONTRIBUTOR | July 6th 20 |
Joseph Arthur's folkish brand of alt rock is one that, unusually, benefits greatly from an upgrade in
production quality. The little extra bits of studio magic make this all the more immediate and satisfying
without compromising on the songwriting front. Indeed, many of these songs seem written in order to benefit
from the additional capabilities - soothing background synths and lush reverb create some wonderful
textural eccentricities. Some of the quieter moments leave a little to be desired, but when it pulls out
all the stops it hits every time.
82/100
Highlights: Can't Exist, Devil's Broom, Failed
