What it reminds one of is this: on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, amid the high-fashion shops and trendy eateries, there's a House of Blues restaurant/nightclub that's designed to look like a rural, rusted tin shack. Frankly, it looks stupid and out of place. Listening to Pilgrim, one gets the same feeling--there's no room for blues roughness on this CD, and when it appears, it seems forced and false...

Shortly after announcing the Digital deal, Compaq elbowed IBM aside to become the exclusive PC supplier to Radio Shack's chain of 6,800 electronics stores. It surprised no one to watch an upstart that began by copying IBM triumph in a byte-to-byte contest with Big Blue...
