Jesse Malin - The Fine Art of Self-Destruction

"Weird little surprises like this album are the things you live for as a music fan. It's one thing to have high expectations for an album for months, or even years, and have it exceed all your expectations, but it's the from-out-of-nowhere surprises from artists you didn't think capable of such a thing that truly knock your socks off…With his debut solo album, The Fine Art Of Self Destruction, Malin steps out of the outrageous punk role he had with his old band (D Generation) and slips into singer/songwriter mode with astonishing ease, eschewing the boisterous music he specialized in, in exchange for a more introspective, country-rock sound." – Pop Matters
