sorenkApr 17, 2009What happened? These guys used to be interesting. It sounds as if they've decided their drug of choice is a cocktail of prozac and valium with this latest offering. The only exception is Airstream Driver. The only way this album may be worth the money is as background music to help you fall asleep.

MeanMrMonkeyApr 18, 2009Their least interesting album. It is straightforward to the point of being bland in some spots. Seems destined for background music on network dramas. They are so much better than this.

AMDriverApr 1, 2009It may not be the rocker their last release was, but if you like mid-tempo songwriting you'll enjoy it. Better than anticipated. Not sure why the critics didn't care for it.

The kinder, gentler, safe-for-consumption-by-sorority-girls version is fine, but it's merely entertaining where it used to be enchanting.

Gomez ups the musical ante with A New Tide, a brilliant 11-song collection of lyrical jewels embellished by colorful and unusual textural arrangements that a dynamics-loving jazz band could admire.

There is some nice arrangements here, even if too many of the tracks sound like they belong on some type of chillout/easy listening compilation.
