Some are good, some are bad, some are downright silly but they're always fun  ;D

I like these from It Still Moves reviews:

"Answers the interesting question of 'After The Bends, what if Radiohead discovered the steel guitar instead of ProTools.'"

or this one:

"Make no mistake, My Morning Jacket is here to Bring the Rock (I think I stole that from a bumper sticker I saw in a Wal-Mart parking lot)."

Here's another,

"Jim James sees life as two different sine waves, loneliness and love, recognizing the beauty whenever they intersect but also acknowledging their peaks and troughs. Maybe that sounds like indie rock bedroom poetry, but somewhere a tough-guy on a Harley is nodding and wiping a tear."

"As the drums rattle, the short-haired guy huddles with the three longhairs before the five-piece explode into a southern-fried, whiskey soaked, psychedelic guitar-wig out the likes of which haven't been sighted since Neil Young first hooked up with Crazy Horse back in '69."

this whole review is quite good in my opinion:

I still like the reviewer who labelled their sound "sonic seduction"--that really hits it on the head for me :D
