Eternally even

"Eternally Even (...) lacks the reckless randomness of its predecessor, and by contrast, it is measured, focused, even subdued in places ... Those seeking the wacky thrills of Regions of Light and Sound of God might be surprised - or even put off at first - but closer listening reveals the poignant and provocative Eternally Even as a stronger, deeper album".

"Eternally Even is thoughtful and contemplative on the subject of war and modern society, but also refreshingly eloquent on simple matters of love and emotion. It's an album that takes a deep dive into the warmth and richness of psychedelic soul and is a notable chapter in the musical life of Jim James".

"Jim James' new solo album contains some of his most psychedelic music, as well as his most directly topical lyrics, offering new ways for him to wield his otherworldly voice ... Eternally Even, logically enough, is more of a companion to James' last solo LP than it is to My Morning Jacket's stunning 2015 release The Waterfall, particularly in its deeper indulgence of James' soul influences. But it takes those soul elements and submerges them in psychedelic textures, making for a head trip of an album.".

"Som frontmand i bandet My Morning Jacket har Jim James betaget fans med et miks af country, sydstatsrock, prog-rock og soul. På [hans andet soloalbum er der] både funky, sprællende bas, flakkende syreorgel og skrattende guitarer ... Med referencer til det tavse flertal og hadforbrydelser er »Same Old Lie« det mest konfrontative nummer på et album, der ofte forfalder til vage carpe diem-klicheer som protestudsagn. Musikalsk er James langt skarpere".
