Christgau's spot-on, as usual. I don't get complaints that Oceans Apart is inferior to BYBO and Rachel Worth.

Christgau's pretentious writing usually annoys/infuriates me, but he has written some very nice stuff about the GoBs. Typically, I had to read his 'OA' review twice to really understand it, but once I did, I agree that he's spot-on.

For anyone who hasn't explored his writing on the group, check this out too:
