"Not enough stars there to do this one justice. Pity it hasn't gotten more exposure. It's refreshing to hear gimmick-free music, by one of the most consistent and underrated performers of the last 20 years. No pretensions, just outstanding playing, singing,and songs. Keene's not capable of doing anything less."
It all comes together

"Tommy Keene shrugs off the "almost" tag with a brilliant disc of power pop that is the best thing he's ever done. One part rock fuzz, two parts tuneful pop and one part jangle adds up to one of 1998's finest CDs. "Waiting Without You", in fact, gets my nomination for best song of that year, bar none. Keene doesn't have the greatest voice in the world (it's a bit thin) but he knows how to use it, and with these great songs he couldn't go wrong. Check this out."
