Entertainment Weekly[He] peppers his dour dedications with a deadpan, Morrissey-esque wit. [9 Dec 2005, p.89]
-
The result is in some ways immensely pleasing (at its best the quality here is easily the equal of the songs from the proper album), but at seventeen songs and a full hour in length Oh You're So Silent Jens suffers a bit, predictably, from too much of a good thing.
-
If you haven't heard Jens Lekman yet, you're missing out on one of the true pop geniuses of the early 2000s.
-
There is just something so appealing about such guileless, honest music, music that sounds like it was easily made, and that makes it look so easy to do.
-
At times, the album gets a little too sappy for its own good, but it's never enough to derail things.
-
An ideal introduction to his perpetually growing body or work.
-
Slogging through the whole disc for the few shining moments just isn’t worth it.

TonySFeb 16, 2006A lot of people are going to read good reviews of this guy and buy an album they will not like. It's pretty obnoxious when it isn't boring.
