Editorial Reviews Ranked #63 in Spin Magazine's 90 Greatest Albums of the '90s. Spin (09/01/1999)
...with thunderous gales of guitar grunge...the songs--aching ballads and country-punk raveups--careen forward with equal parts urgency and earnestness. This is what it would have sounded like if Hank Williams had fronted Husker Du. Rolling Stone (11/29/1990)
`No Depression' is a Norman Rockwell illustration turned upside down, a portrait of the American heartland that offers no hope, no joy, no alternatives, and no escape...As bleak as this landscape gets, Uncle Tupelo lifts the mood by conducting themselves like a rural power trio, mixing equal parts Who-style guitar lunacy and Husker Du-ish tidal waves of noise. The Bob
