Allmusic	[1]

On this album, the band attempted to maintain a more immediate vibe than on 1995's Nowhere to Here, which had been labelled as overly mannered by critics.^[2] To that end, songs were not brought to the whole band until the day of recording, so that the band's performance would retain a spontaneous flair.^[3]
