Customer Reviews of The Assembly of Dust

as good as I've heard
I'd heard so much about Reid Genauer being an amazing songwriter - and everything that I'd heard was right! From start to finish this album is a gem. It covers all styles of music, from the rocking "Burned Down" to the ballad "Serenade Serine" to the funky "Love Junkie". Genauer's band perfectly supports his mighty voice and powerful lyrics with some great guitar and keyboard solos and just overall solid playing.

comes up a little short
on the outset let me say that reid genauer is perhaps one of the greatest songwriters i have ever heard. being an avid fan of strangefolk while reid was in the band and also the amazing percy hill, which features the amazing nate wilson and jon lecesse (who are also featured on this album), i was quick to pick up the new offering from reid. it features a few tunes from the old strangefolk catalogue as well as a few new ones. being a huge strangefolk fan it was a little tough to swallow the versions of some of my favorite songs but reid and the new band do them justice. the best is probably "songs we sing" which features some great soulful back up singing. the album as a whole feels a little over produced and seems to lack that gritty edge that strangefolk had or that reid and the assembly of dust have in their live performances. the album is defintely worth a listen but it my mind it comes up short...probably because of my own high expectations of reid genauer.
