Review

We put Augie March's fourth album to the usual big albums test - four different reviews, but this time the result isn't as glowing.

Ed Butler
"Augie March had the opportunity to take a chance. Instead, they played it safe".

Steve Scully
"Watch Me Disappear only sparingly represents the true nature of Augie March".

Dan Osmolowski
"It’s almost like the band are taunting us with such an inviting album title, throwing the gauntlet down to their audience to accept their offer".

Thomas Mendelovits
"If Augie March ever stooped to think of themselves as the literate cousins to a band like Powderfinger, then they’ve played it out on Watch Me Disappear".
