| | Delusions of Adequacy Reviews - The Lassie Foundation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | The album starts out with the hushed “Good as Gold,” an almost entirely a cappella track portraying the band with their hands out, “collecting, cause we’re good as gold.” Kind of a cocky statement, but no need to be apprehensive: they back it up, and then some. |
 | | The CD ends with two of the best Lassie cuts ever penned, “Hero,” and “Vive Les Animaux.” “Hero” is simply gorgeous, a melancholy ballad which pits vocalist Wayne Everett’s smooth voice against that of Julie Martin (wife of Jason Martin, of Starflyer 59). |
 | | The two sing back and forth over a bed of humming synths, acoustic guitar, vibraphone, and reverbed guitar slides that give the song a spacey, slightly ambient feel. |
