The A.V. Club
In the period leading up to the release of 1999's outstanding Good Morning Spider , Sparklehorse mastermind Mark Linkous spent months in a wheelchair after spending three minutes dead of a drug reaction. The album's wild-eyed hodgepodge of styles and...read the complete review at The A.V. Club
