The Old 97's new album, 'American Primative,' reviewed by Rolling Stone.
, the Old 97’s have sandwiched songs about assessing their life choices and serial monogamy with reminders that the world is a doomed and hopeless place and that if you’ve found even a modicum of joy, then that day is a triumph.

But it’s not all Chicken Little. With extra jangle courtesy of Buck, “Where the Road Goes” finds Miller reflecting on how he survived a teenage suicide attempt, and how he is happy he did. “I’m so glad you decided to stick around,” he sings, amid a chime-y Wall of Sound backdrop. “Look what you found, look at all the beautiful things you found.
