One of the best records I have ever heard.
author: Michele
This album is so good I can't say enough great things about it. If you like Ryan Adams at all, you HAVE to listen to this. He doesn't sound like Ryan Adams, but definitely the same type of music & talent. My favorite songs on this album are 'Keep Going Round," "You Can't See The Stars From The Inside of a Bar," "Picture In My Pocket," "Bound to Drown," and of course, "Paradise," which I have heard other bands cover live. This version is the best, though. I fell in love with the last record, Drama City, and didn't think I could like this one as much. I was wrong.

Another outstanding disc for the prodigious JABE
author: Daniel
This disc is phenomenal. Jabe takes a little different turn on "Where Do We Go & When Do We Get There", away from his previous cow-punk roots and more moody and ethereal. The songwriting is outstanding (as always), and the production is top notch. My favorites are the captivating "Paradise" and the heartbreaking lament "You Can't see the stars from the inside of a Bar". Jabe has the innate capacity to paint that image that has been hovering right next to you for years and you never knew it was there. I highly recommend this (and all) Jabe records.
