"This is in many ways one of the more original CDs I've heard in quite awhile. At times it's roots rock, at times it's jazz-rock, or a quirky pop-rock ­ it's very hard to put your finger on....Regardless, this is a fun and interesting CD. The standout song is Backyards, a country-rock kind of song, that focuses on the irony of how Americans continue to work more and more hours, and spend much of the overtime money they make on unused leisure equipment. The song is both clever and catchy, with strong lyrics and excellent vocals. "

"The music has an aura that keeps the listener hanging on every word." --The Global Muse

"I would say this one-man-band Doug Kolmar guy is a David Byrne fan, although he didn't list him as an influence. 'Backyards' is a catchy and fun tune, with lyrics that have enough depth and intelligence to make it roll around in your head for a while after it's over. 'Fear, Etc.' is a brooding number that leads one to think that Kolmar might have some potential to be a diverse songsmith. Definitely worth the trip through cyberspace to have a listen."
