"I first witnessed the spectacular spectacle of a live Mendoza Line show at Brownie's in NYC. One word: delicious. Finally, indie rock has found its champion in the Mendoza Line. They should be on a Wheaties box. Naturally I rushed out and bought We're All in this Alone. The disturbingly bare, raw lyrics-- always the core of Mendoza music-- combine with their trademark, powerful nonchalance of melodies both intense and listless, leaving listeners foerever altered and adoring. I couldn't eat Wheaties for a week after hearing this record. It will be a tragedy if they don't receive the recognition they deserve.THIS RECORD IS A MUST FOR ANY DISCERNING INDIE ROCK FAN. No band has bridged past, present and future so seamlessly. See them live soon if you can-- because from the looks of the liner notes, they might not be around that long. And, that would be the gretatest tragedy of all."

We're All in This Alone- Mendoza Line

"Although released in 2000, this album harkens to some of the highlights of 1990's indie pop music. Lots of songs about relationships with some memorable lines you will find yourself repeating in daily converstation. Musically this album reminds me of Pavement's 'Slanted and Enchanted' in that there are many genuine moments of lo-fi genius. What makes this album unique is that Mendoza Line adds their own country-fied touch to all of the songs. If you find their latest work a little overproduced this album is what you are looking for."
