Their verdict: it's better than "A Blessing and a Curse" but too long.

By our estimation, they could've chopped about eight of the 19 tracks and still had themselves a solid, ambitious record (there are songs from Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and bassist Shonna Tucker, so we're sure they could've whittled from each stash, though Shonna only contributed three). Much of the muck happens in the middle: Brighter opens and closes strong. That said, it's definitely better, grittier than the underwhelming A Blessing And A Curse.
