This is one terrific album

"This album is one of Wainwright's very best - all of the songs are winners, although for different reasons. Some are cynical, some mean and sarcastic, many almost painfully revealing, and all of them are just plain great: funny, clever and ruthlessly honest. Wainwright writes intensely personal songs, and still they reflect universal experiences. Everyone has bought that "Bill of Goods" sometime in their lives, "Your Father's Car" is advice that everyone wishes they had known when they were twenty years old, and nothing captures the holiday spirit quite as well as "Thanksgiving." You will not be sorry you bought this CD."
Good but not his best

"I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I love Loudon & have all his albums, so I would recommend this to anybody, but I don't think it's his best. If you're a fan, you need this, because it's bound to have at least a few songs that will rank as favorites, & it's well-produced. Good but not great IMO. I'm not here to bust a good album, but I wanted to give a little balance to the other rave reviews here. If you're new, I for one would recommend History, Last Man on Earth, Career Moves, or the 1986 Best of."
Probably His Best Album

"I have almost every one of Wainwright's albums, and I would have to say that "Therapy" is arguably his best. At least, I've probably listened to it more than I have any of his other albums. Over the years, it never tires. I've probably listened to it 80 or 90 or 100 times. Not too shabby, considering its price. Highly recommended."
