Let's see. LA Weekly's "Falling James" sez:

1/23/08: Southern Rock (?)
                    cliched phrases
                    "Meantime rocks" (got that)

11/4/08: fairly erratic lyrics
                    painfully inarticulate...."Sugar"

12/6/09: lyrical cliches (ok, now his use of the word cliche is a cliche)
                    Down By The River: Please tell me last 2 times this song was played
                                                                anywhere NEAR the year 2009

These all come from favorable, overall, previews. I wish Falling James would review a show. Failing that,  he will eventually make contact with the Earth.
