Sebadoh might have been one of the defining bands of the indie-rock revolution, but it seems Lou Barlow's side project the Folk Implosion was built to last. <I>The New Folk Implosion</I>, despite its name, provides a fine example of what Barlow has always done best: soulful rock music that captures the poetic shyness and sense of inadequacy of its maker. Barlow's lo-fi edge mellowed into a loose sonic adventurousness long ago. Here, ex-Sebadoh drummer Russell Pollard's rhythms are occasionally augmented by fluid loops. There's nothing as immediately hooky as "Natural One," the group's unlikely hit from Larry Clark's controversial teen movie <I>Kids</I>. But those still mourning the passing of Sebadoh ought to find what they're looking for in the windswept "Releast," "Creature of Salt," and "Pearl." <I>--Louis Pattison</I>

5 out of 5 stars real music lives.......2003-08-18

its a great album listen to it with no preconceptions of what it should be

5 out of 5 stars One of our best.......2003-08-16

I am so confused as to why fans of a band or artist balk at any sigh of growth, especially when they are supposed to be "indie" fans. Indie fans aren't supposed to want to pigeon hole an artist. Lou continues to show his expansion of his themes in both Sebadoh and IF and that should be a good thing not something everyone runs from.

This CD is one of the most cohesive works Loobie has done. The song writing is impeccable. The tunes get deep inside you. They are haunting, beautiful and dark.

Please expand your horizon along with Lou and stick by everything he does. He is one of our best!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Classic Lou Barlow.......2003-05-23

Another classic album by Lou Barlow. I have been a Sebadoh and Folk Implosion fan for a number of years and what draws me to the music is that you do not expect a consistent sound from one album to the next. There is always a degree of experimentation and the result is always fresh.

Stand out tracks are Fuse, Releast and Easy. I found it hard at first to listen to this version of Easy after listening to the loobiecore version, but this song rates up there with Sorry and Nightmare which is worth the price of the CD alone.
