Andrew Bird Break It Yourself [Digipak]

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Bird gets direct, even confrontational. 'Desperation Breeds...' sets the tone, opening the record with a dark blast of piano-guitar discord."
"[T]he LP's two highlights hit a perfectly judged pitch of heartbreak: 'Lusitania', which tramps the dream prairies of early Grant Lee Buffalo, and best of all, 'Sifters', a lovely lullaby of departure..."
"[A] collection of tracks that feels more raw, more freewheeling and slightly riskier....He creates textures, punctured by emotional and sonic peaks and valleys."
