Professional Reviews

Uncut (5/04, pp.92-3) - 5 stars out of 5 - "The album's penultimate track is a thing of brooding majesty called 'Willamette', an accumulation of hurt and baffled disappointment set to the kind of somber guitar belligerence usually associated with Neil Young....An exquisite soundtrack. Brilliant."

Uncut (p.66) - "RF's best album....Their most hopeful."

Uncut (p.75) - Ranked #4 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "[A] dark, mesmerising masterpiece....Its exquisite, pain-blasted country-rock..."

Mojo (Publisher) (4/04, p.109) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[W]ith tunes aplenty, their art is very much in the right place."
