Cut yourself free

"The only time the album stumbles is when Miles dials it down past spooky all the way to nocturnal death blues on the overly long and overly guitar-soloed "Vacant Eyes." It's a game effort at aping the Gun Club, but Miles is much better at new wave fog and gloom than hollow-eyed balladry. In fact, Cut Yourself Free shows that Miles is on his way to being a master of it, and its best moments equal the work of some of the people who have obviously inspired him".

"This time Miles doesn't seem to have any specific agenda on his mind, and instead he's trying out a few different styles, which owes nods to several 80s forebears and results in a rather scattershot album ... Hopefully next time around he'll take a little longer between albums and flush out his ideas a little more".
