Review by kenethlevine
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog-Folk Team

Yes, and I think this may be one of them, not to be blatantly trite. It seemed like a good idea the year before when Meiburg and Sheff rounded up the best of their rank and file tunes left over from OKKERVIL RIVER, but in 2002 it both were putting all their energies, physical or otherwise, into that group and treating this like the side project it was at the time.

This is an overwhelmingly slouch affair with a lumbering tristesse that would never have been found on an early 1970s album, because no record company of that day would have spent a cent on it, bless their hearts. At this point SHEARWATER was targeting sensitive slowfoik (a new genre for me), and you can hear it in the minimal arrangements and the frail strings here and there, but it's only mildly pleasing on a few upbeat numbers like "Well Benjamin" and "MIstakes", the clarinet heroism of "1209", and especially in the eerie almost vacuum sealed atmosphere of "Wreck". The latter almost passes unnoticed due to the somnolence of its compatriots, so I apologize if another gem might have been missed, but hey, like the album says.
