Rating: - I'm Amazed
4 1/2 Stars: A strong effort from Kentucky's finest indie-alternative-funk-r&b-rock band. "I'm Amazed" is one of the best songs of the year.
Rating: - Just don't do it.
After listening to this disc, I'm reminded of why Michael Jordan shouldn't have tried playing professional baseball. What a mistake. I wish these guys would remember that people actually BUY their music, that they spend their money after having waited 2-3 years for new stuff. And then they get this. I'm all for experimentation, for exploring new territory, but you don't have to release it to the public. Try it out onstage, put it on your website for free, but don't do this.
Rating: - This is not a good album!
I have to say, almost everything about this effort reeks. This is one of those records that shocks you, but in a bad way. Jim James' vocals are as strong as ever, but there is nothing said here with any mystique. His lyrics are paper thin, the melodies are flat, and even worse this sounds like yacht rock.

Rating: - OHMIGAWD! It's different than their old stuff! I hate them now!
I love all of MMJ's old stuff just as much as any other fan, and I have to say I love this album too. No one wants a band that keeps making the same stuff over and over. Sure, "It Still Moves" is their best album, but "Evil Urges" is still great. Come on, how can you not love "Highly Suspicious"?
Rating: - My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
Evil Urges (2008, Red) My Morning Jacket's fifth studio album. ***
This review hurts to write, mainly because My Morning Jacket has received a vast amount of critical praise this year, the leaders of that movement being Rolling Stone. Even recently they gave the album four stars, their symbol (as well as mine) for excellence. Unfortunately, I did not find the album to be so, instead I found it to be good, because I was honetly bored through a good deal of it.
