Amazon.com's Best of 2001
The phonograph crackling that opens Pete Yorn's debut album is an appropriate gesture for an artist hailed as the best thing to come out of South Jersey since Bruce Springsteen. Actually, Yorn doesn't sound a thing like Springsteen, but he does possess a classic pop craftsmanship shared by tradition-minded singer-songwriters such as Neilson Hubbard and Elliot Smith. On the cool, infectious "Life on a Chain," Yorn's relaxed crooning evokes the spirit of Bruce Cockburn, while "Simonize," ostensibly a love song penned by Jack the Ripper, calls to mind Big Star-period Alex Chilton. Rhythmically, the part-time drummer and multi-instrumentalist (he scored the Farrelly brother's movie Me, Myself and Irene and plays most of the instruments here himself) leans toward the drone lilt of early New Order and Joy Division, resulting in a smooth fusion of American and Anglo influences that make Yorn a new artist well worth watching. --Bill Forman

Summary: How is this guy not well known? 2009-12-28
Comment: First of all I must confess that I found this cd in a thrift store in my hometown. It only cost 25 cents, so I bought it for the heck of it. I'd never heard Pete Yorn before, but the moment I heard his gravelly yet velvet voice I knew I'd stumbled onto something special. I've never come across an album in which I could listen to the entire selection without skipping a few songs, but I'm not picky when it comes to this artist. The truth is, I would have payed the full purchase price of a new cd if I'd heard him on the radio. Five stars all the way!

Summary: Music that lasts 2009-01-20
Comment: I'm a big fan of singer/songwriter types - everything from the lighter stuff of Nick Drake to more "rock" stuff like this Yorn disc - but it seems like most cds I get I'll listen to a few times and then it gets old. But not this one. Even months after I bought it, I still listen to it and like it. Some songs I like more than others (my faves are On Your Side and EZ), but still from top to bottom every song has something to offer. You won't be disappointed with this one.

Summary: Super...4.5 stars!!!!!!! 2008-05-29
Comment: Simply put just a great debut. One that IMHO Pete Yorn hasn't topped yet. Yorn is a very versatile singer/songwriter. He gets compared to Springsteen alot, although aside from the fact he's from Jersey and a great songwriter like the Boss, I don't really see any similarity. His voice at times sounds a little like Eddie Vedder. He can do the upbeat stuff like "Life on A Chain" and "Closet". Great slower tunes like "Just Another", "Lose You". And he can do flat out rockers like "For Nancy", and "Black" (my personal favorite). Not often that one artist can cover so many styles and not sound cheesy or out of place. Great stuff!!!!

Summary: musicforthemorningafter remains best album 2007-12-19
Comment: pete yorn has released three major albums, and it seems like everyone is agreeing his first one, musicforthemorningafter, is still the best. he has light tunes that are good for sunny days or reflecting on things. he doesn't come off as obnoxious or conceited, and he doesn't seem to care if he's on mtv or not. i love this album. "life on a chain", "strange condition", and "closet" are the favorites from this album.
