...feature lyrics like, “You shimmy-shook my boat / Leaving me stranded all in love on my own.” Further signs of overproduction and underwhelming originality can also be heard on “17,” where church bells provide the intro and outro for a song not too different in subject matter from Winger’s track of the same slightly-seedy title. The album does have a few remnants of Kings of Leon’s former feel, however. It can be heard in the pulsing, scratchy bass hook...
...succeeds through the dichotomy of delicate piano and a massive guitar line. In contrast, “Navy Sheets” suffers under the weight of up-front New Wave keyboards and “Both Crosses” sounds out of place with its theremin accents and banjo outro. However, the secret to the album’s strength isn’t its beefed-up sound, but rather Craig Finn’s comparably stripped-down lyricism, which is probably more appropriate for his audience.

Add that to the bloated shout-outro and you’ve got 15 full minutes of lame. Plus, Fiasco’s got some growing to do. His rhythms are varied but bland; his rhymes cling to the beat’s skirts, rarely venturing into dangerous territory. Most worryingly, he can’t muster...
...middle ground: lots and lots of bongos, Latin influences on many of the songs, a song in Tagalog (“Bebot”), a Middle-Eastern sound on occasion, the fantastic marriage of “Miserlou” and handclaps, and even a piano outro on “My Humps” that gets points for unexpectedness...

Nels Cline and Tweedy redefine synchronized guitar acrobatics in the short but beautifully orchestrated electric guitar solo on “Hell is Chrome.”Cline’s extended solo on “Ashes of American Flags” replaces the noise outro of the studio version, completely altering the character of the song. Instead of leaving the listener disoriented, Cline restores melodic order and orchestrates an instrumental climax before slowly fading out. The few missteps on “Kicking Television” stem mostly from poor song selection...
