"While some have been critical of this album for numerosu reasons, mainly that it is post-recovery, I still find everythign Evan Dando touches to be gold. The songs are pure musical perfection, and Evan still holds the same brilliant musical spirit as ever before. I have listened to Evan for many, many years, and a bad Dando album is till 100 times better than anythign else for me. I love it, and think it is a great album. "All my Life", and "In the Grass Wine Colored" are classics, to be sure. No matter what Evan sings, I find myself unable to shake it from ny head many hours later. Thanks, Evan, and keep writing. I have been through addicition, drug years, punk/power trash, etc, right there with you, and out the other side I am glad to have musicians like you blessing my ears."

For the grad student in all of us...

"Well, at least you can't accuse Dando of not growing along with his fans. If you rocked - kind of, sort of - to the Lemonheads when you were in your early twenties, now you can mellow out in your early thirties with Baby I'm Bored. None of these songs are particularly memorable but they capture the tone of pre-midlife-crisis angst perfectly: not so much depressed as resigned. Sure, life isn't as exciting as it was when you were back in the dorms but you know, uh, it's the only game around. Anyway, perfect for that moving-out-of-the-loft party you've got next weekend in Williamsburg."

VERY NICE

"Evan Dando steps up here with his first solo release. The sound is great and seems to stray from the lemonheads sound quite a bit. Singer-songwriter jems captured with a good backing band who doesn't over-power Dando's already perfect simple pop songs. The "alt-country" sound which the Lemonheads picked-up with "Lovey" is apparant here, but done in a different way. The sound is generally mellow and rocked-out. Get this homies."
