Description:

Finally, the world is treated to Mike Doughty's first "full-band" album since Soul Coughing disbanded in 1998. Doughty has clearly morphed from hyperactive ironic hipster to a world-class songwriter with lyrics that are funny ("I want to run away and join the office") and self-deprecating but never emo ("All my life I've been slow and senseless/Not struck dumb I'm just dumb that's all"). If you're looking for faults you can always find them, and to be sure some of the playing is overly "pro" and not as funky as M.D. live. The perfect pedal steel touches throughout are actually icing on this cake, and the drummer dude from N.E.R.D.'s metronomic bashing's hardly a bummer. The songs on the album will be familiar to fans who've seen him live, and thanks to Haughty being recorded over a long stretch of time (the songs themselves honed that way too) it has a "greatest hits" feel to it: all killer, no filler. --Mike McGonigal

4Good album  Nov 13, 2009
While some songs may not be too deep on this album, Mike still makes great music and lots of songs to sing a long to. I highly recommend this CD

A great piece of music from the former Soul Coughing frontman. If you like Soul Coughing you will love this album. 5 stars all the way!!!

4Fun live show, good album  Jan 17, 2007
In response to the review by "MadBanker", where he describes walking out until the screeching had ended, I gotta tell you man, you must not have seen the same concert I did. I saw Mike Doughty open for the BareNaked Ladies at the Bill Graham civic center in San Francisco, and if screeching bothers you then I don't know how you dealt with the BareNaked Ladies's revised rendition of "You can be my Yoko Ono". Now that was some screeching. Jesus.

1DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Nov 29, 2006
I saw Mike Doughty open for the Barenaked Ladies and he was horrible. I walked out until the screeching had ended. Do not waste your money on Mike Doughty! I beg you!
