 When will I learn?? Feb 20, 2009
I jumped on this CD. I was very excited to see it at a used store and eagerly put it in the CD player...and remembered why I don't tend to listen to Edgar's more recent stuff.
The next day I was listening on headphones at work figuring that I'd give it a fair shot. I'd take the headphones off to do something and when they came back on, I couldn't tell if this was the same track or a different one. There is only so much tonal interest to be had in the same 2 instruments on an entire CD and Edgar's playing-while jaw dropping-gets a bit repetitive for my attention span. The tracks seem to be in the same (or similar) keys and the feel is very much like the last several CDs of Edgar's.
I love the old MCA stuff, but the Sony Edgar Meyer is not doing much for me. Great playing as always, but for me this was just more of the same. Get it if you're one of the "Edgar can do NO wrong-listen to how fast he plays" fans but if you are looking for more than that and already have some of the other CDs of his maybe this is a good one to check for in the local library.
 Edgar Meyer & Chris Thile Feb 16, 2009
Fantastic album! Two of the best musicians in the world together making great music together
too abstract Feb 14, 2009
i'm a big fan of Uncommon Ritual, Short Trip Home, & the 2 Appalchian cds, but the tunes here are too abstract for me. i like improvisations but not where all melody is erased.

Great Disappointment Jan 23, 2009
I love Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile, but find this, often discordant, CD painful to listen to. They are clearly very accomplished musicians, and I am clearly incapable of appreciating this highly regarded work (NPR Best of 2008 CD List).

Get it! Dec 20, 2008
A little different from Thile's other stuff. Never the less, if you are a Chris Thile, fan this album is a must!
