Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "An album that's stylistically their most wide-ranging....There's more Americana this time than there is Allmans and ZZ Top -- ranging from straightforward country to electric country-blues.", Ranked #13 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums of 2008in- "An Epic of Jagged, Crazy Horse Americana.", "A Largely Satisfying Album. It Brings Back Some of the Twang and Front-Porchiness of the Past...", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "They Let the Songwriting Speak for Itself and It Sings Loud and Clear.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "This is a stunning album, bristling with astute and funny words, glorious tunes and delivered in performances all the more impressive for sounding so utterly effortless...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "BRIGHTER is unique for its air of quiet resignation about misery....The weary midtempo arrangement embody the album's crushing hopelessness, tempered only by John Neff's elegant pedal steel.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Hood's own songs tell wrenching tales of the underclass, hitching his stricken voice to country shuffles and jagged Neil Young grooves.", "BRIGHTER throbs with pedal steel and creamy keys played by veteran R&B session guy Spooner Oldham." -- Grade: B+, 3 stars out of 5 -- "It sounds fascinating and its sprawling mix of styles, vocalists and inspirations is not without its passion or humour.", "Brighter Is One Fo the more Tightly-Focused, Energized Dbt Records to Date."
