iTunes Review

Whether Rhett Miller is recording under his own name or with his band the Old 97’s, he’s still the same authoritative voice of measured reason within the confines of romance. He leans towards straightforward pop as a solo act, leaving behind his band’s penchant for the country breeze. “I Need To Know Where I Stand” is a no-nonsense piece of classic pop that would’ve easily purred out of an AM radio back in the early ‘70s. Artistically, he slots in comfortably alongside his elders — Marshall Crenshaw comes to mind — writing subtly melodic treasures with lyrics that suggest he’s paying attention to what growing older in a world of eternal youth can do to a man. “Happy Birthday Don’t Die” has a loose, jokey vibe running under its stream-of-consciousness, and an extended jam just for kicks. “Bonfire” is the 4 AM ballad. “Another Girlfriend,” “Haphazardly” and “If It’s Not Love” tell us Miller isn’t likely to be an expert on how to succeed in relationships anytime soon. But for a songwriter it’s the struggle that makes it worth it.

Customer Reviews

I am still a believer . More like 3 1/2 stars

I really loved The Believer and Instigator. This is a little lighter than those. I like the songs individually but i am not sure It works as an album. The songs as a whole dont seem to have much rhyme or reason as how they were tracked. Still solid. Like most of Rhett's music, I am sure these songs will creep up on me,seize my heart and I will wish I had given it four stars. Buy it regardless, there are some really pretty tunes here

Not as good as the other two

There are some good songs on here, particularly "Happy Birthday Dont Die, and "If it's not Love", which are up there with Rhetts best solo stuff, but the rest of the record is kind of slow, not that catchy, not many hooks. It kind of meanders. Its good, but its not as good as The Instigator or The Believer. Theres no songs on here as good as "Our Love", "Come Around", "My Valentine", "Meteor Shower" etc...

Great, slower-paced album!

There are some stellar tracks on this album, making it a must-have for any Rhett fan. The second half is pretty slow, so keep that in mind. However, it complements his first two discs nicely, feeling a bit more introspective. The artwork is very pretty and reminiscent of an earlier era, too.
