5.0 classicAtavanHalen | April 18th 10

I first met Dan on an Australian tour in January of 2010, touring with a guy called Charlie Parr. I was floored by this charming, down-to-earth guy's ability to make music that had so much heart and honesty to it. All it took was a few chords and a particularly brilliant way with words, and I was all but hooked. I saw Dan three times on that tour, which culminated in me finally getting this record. Since then, it's difficult to explain just what these songs mean to me. From the romantic tragedy of "Fair Verona," the happy-go-lucky "Robots" and the tearful ballad "Basket" to the lonesome chamber pop of "You Silly Git" and the rollicking "Sold," there's not a song here that I haven't come to treasure like a long-lost friend. Yes, this is a five on almost entirely sentimental reasons. But I couldn't care less - Dan Mangan changes lives, though he'd be far too humble to ever admit it.

wow im kinda glad it took me so long to find this album. its amazing how much you can connect with an album on a personal level when youre going through some rough times. sorta like how i got attached to elliott smith a couple years back. i find myself going back to listen to road regrets everytime i finish this album. his lyrics and voice are just...remarkable

One of the most sincere, vulnerable albums I've ever heard, Nice, Nice, Very Nice is a stunning array of beautiful, rich, endearing tunes, which, with the brushstrokes of a genius, Mangan has crafted into a near masterpiece.
