Another great album. Thank you Nils.

Nils music is always dead on musically while the lyrics to some of his songs can be a little quirky. It makes for an occasional strange dichotomy between the two. Nils also plays it close to the heart with a great deal of his music, seemingly unfettered when revealing himself to every one who will listen. Sacred Weapon holds true to all that. The music and lyrics in "In your Hands" fall into the sublime category while tunes like "Fat Girls Dance" and "Hard Core" tend to make you scratch your head a little, thru it all the music hangs tight and true. Given all that the scope and breath of his work is truly amazing: I could listen to him all day. I can't say that about to many musicians. Personally I prefer "Breakaway Angle" to "Sacred Weapon"… It is a much more thoughtful piece of work while "Sacred Heart" seems to be reaching back to his more rocking days and finding only moderate success. Better yet, his most recent live double cd is fantastic. Nils Lofgren Band Live *****, Breakaway Angel ****, Sacred Heart ***.

E Streeter Nils Lofgren's second album Sacred Weapon is the only album to fulfilled your spirits up since his last album Breakaway Angel.

An album that grows in stature the more you listen to it. Seems to start gently and rocks up towards the end. The best of Nils' studio album since 'Damaged Goods' to which it has some similar production quality and sounds. An interesting and creative mix of songs. Highlights for me are the uplifting 'Come a day' and the passionate plea of 'Frankie hang on'.
