Pitchfork wrote: “With all of Jason Pierce’s tormented vocals, with his talk
of addiction and recovery, of fractured love, of the burden of religion on the
soul; with all this, you’d expect him to be confined to a straitjacket. But rather,
he manages to make it all sound glorious, as if these rock-bottom moments
are equally responsible for the beauty of living– or of not dying.”
Full review here. Score: 8.5/10.

Turn Up The Volume: One of the best works of soul space
crusader Jason Pierce and his symphonic orchestra.
