Hit: 4 Stars
Very clear recorded CD with strong sounding voices, not every song a must have. Certainly not as Hot as I had imagined but never the less an okey CD. A mix of folk, bits of rock, some country, go figure... I have decided to slow down buying all these CD's and perhaps go on a song to song basis for it seems almost impossible to find a CD where all the songs are equally brilliant. By the time you finish buying one there are 5 more in the market, to say the least. I saw The Avett Brothers (are they all brothers?) on a photograph in Rolling Stones and the article said that they Rocked the house and the fact they were not a conventional Rock Band called my attention (I seem to be getting more and more burned out with the electric guitars and drums most of the time)and that they rather played different instruments plus the endorsement of AMG with I believe 4 Stars convinced me to buy the CD. It is clean, crispy music and enjoyable bits and parts. Something tells me these guys are a better offer on a Live setting. 4 Stars for The Avett Brothers "Emotionalism".Free Music Review: Changing the music scene
Hit: 5 Stars
Along with bands like the everybody fields and The Decemberists, The Avett Brothers have the potential to change the direction of American music. These bands are a reaction against the soulless music filling the airways and explore sounds deeply rooted in American culture while giving them new life and direction. Missing this album would be doing a disservice to yourself.Free Music Review: brilliant

The Avett Brothers are inspirational. Their music speaks to me and restores my faith in the artistry of music. Thank you Scott and Seth, your music makes my life richer. I think "The Ballad of Love and Hate" and "Living of Love" might be the two best songs ever written. I've never heard anything so insightful and challenging, yet the presentation is always so humble and accessible. Never mind a benchmark for comparison, The Beatles were to marketability what The Avett Brothers are to songwriting. If you want to hear an artist relate something magical, this is a masterpiece.Free Music Review: A Truly enjoyable experience of Newgrass, rustic folk songs.
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a talented band of brothers. Simple acoustic guitars,piano and banjos complement the strengths of the lyrics and the delivery. They employ judicious use of passionate crescendo and artful silences. The band sounds like it had fun recording this music, and it shows, especially in tracks like "Will You Return?"
Fans of the blending of country, folk, bluegrass and alternative rock will enjoy this band. One might label this what I call "NewGrass," in the tradition of calling new folk music "Neo-Folk."
Fans of Christopher Denny, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Will Oldham/Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Johnny Cash will feel right at home with the Avett Brothers. They deliver the same feelings of earthiness and authenticity.
And listeners will be pleased by the variety of melodies from track to track. This is definitely not the kind of band whose songs blend together in one boring, unabbreviated album. Instead, each song has its own character, its own story and distinct allegiance to the themes of love, sorrow and tribulation.
At times, the vocals seem derivative of My Morning Jacket, and even a touch of Weezer (Die, Die, Die). But in fairness, The Avett Brothers have crafted their own sound worthy of recognition.

This is their best work yet. If you still haven't seen them live, you have to..now. A live show with these songs would ROCK!
