The Boston Metro said, "Lorntell`s rock constitution lies somewhere between the alt-country angels of Whiskeytown and the power-pop crush of The Replacements." While there are tinges of North Carolina`s favorite Whiskeytown, this 2006 release falls into the propulsive roots-rock sound of vintage Replacements. Jesse Perkins vocals reveal a grief and weariness but also an optimism. Lead guitarist Edward Taylor channels the spirit of Bob Stinson. This hook-filled record rocks. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
