I bought this solely on the strength of "Please Don't Tell Her" and after never really delving into the remainder, put it aside. A recent road trip required a recycling of my main car CD fare and I threw this into the mix. It caught my ear, my attention, and still remains. I had not sampled any of their other efforts, but after continous play of this, I have looked and discovered the quality of their work here extends to other offerings.... Great sound, excellent instrumental sides and a package that works...and works very well. I still get a raised eyebrow or curious look from others when they hear something I'm playing from here, ask who the artist is, and I reply "Big Head Todd and the Monsters"....Not sure if they go out later and discover what I did, or assume I'm pulling their leg..Their loss if they don't. This is extremely good stuff...

The lyrics are great. The album flows well throughout and the three men are masters of their instruments. I have owned it for some time and have only grown to like it more. I also own Sister Sweetly and Riviera. I can say that all three of these are really, really strong albums in my view.
The songs are bluesy and reflective with a touch of sadness throughout. Worth the money.

I love this cd. It's been in my car cd player forever, and I get sad thinking about taking it out. I'm a late comer to the BHTM ride, but what a sweet and soulful ride it is. Some music just gets into your soul, and only one other group can do this for me, Cowboy Junkies. And now BHTM. Ok, and Sarah Maclaughlin (but where is she???) Check this out, but give it a long listen, out on the road, let the music move you.

I heard this cd from my step-dad. i had to make a copy of, only to loose it. i had to go by this cd. it is now my fav. the songs are mellow, yet they can get a little hard. no matter what the mood there is a song that fits that mood. it is a must buy for any music lover.

Still and always I imagine Sister Sweetly will stay at the top but this one is right there. Another consistently good product from these guys.

I jumped when this CD was released, having become a major fan after stumbling onto Sister Sweetly when it was released. Beautiful World, however, has quite a few great songs but never seems to click home the way the previous two albums did. "Heart of Wilderness" and "Caroline" are outstanding, and there are nice touches everywhere, but my overall impression was that something is missing. There isn't a bad song here, that's for sure, but the highlights are fewer than before. Still, a mediocre BHT album is still better than anything Eric Clapton has done in years.

EXCELLENT rock album! With a superhot clean guitar tone, guitarist Todd Park Mohr kicks things into high gear,while their crack rhythm section keeps it solid and grooving. A good variety of styles appear, each delivered with confidence and passion. They have a great loose, soulful approach to playing and a cool vintage vibe to their music. Their great live sound is captured well in the studio here. Great blues-y soulful rock.

This goes up there with Midnight Radio and Sister Sweetly. Just plain great music. Melodic, bluesy,and rocking as ever.

As a person that grew up with these guys, literally across the street, I continue to enjoy the great music they turn out. Keep up the good work guys! You've come a long way since TJ & the twist!

As enjoyable a listen as Counting Crows or Dave Matthews without any pretensious brooding or mindless rambling. A sharp, focused offering by great musicians who don't beat you over the head with their greatness.
