    I have nothing to compare this to, except "No, You Come On", issued simultaneously, since these are the first two Lambchop albums that I've bought. This album seems much more sluggish than "N,YCO". There's nothing inherently wrong with the songs, but the string section seems overdone, and many songs sound similar.

    If Aw C'mon pales in comparison, it's due to a pronounced downbeat atmosphere and an over-reliance on cutesy, clunky titles.

    Aw C'mon is lovely, compelling, mysterious, and confounding.

    This is deep, rich, slightly unnerving and very very beautiful music. [combined review of both discs]
