  2. ^ Lahri Bond, "Recordings: Old Futures Gone", Dirty Linen, April/May 2004 (Quotes: "The result is not always pleasing, as Gorka has built a career on deeply meaningful and witty songs crooned out in a voice that is deep and rich as butterscotch. One would never deny an artist his right to grow and change, but not all of those changes are successful." / "The problem is both in the lack of depth in the song's lyrics, coupled with the deadly disease shared by most American singer/songwriters who believe that a cleverly constructed set of rhymes makes for a good sting. Songs should never be reduced to writing exercises. Gorka had never fallen into the trap of formula -- until now." / "This is not to say that this is a bad album. There are some great moments, even on the hook-laden "War Makes War" and "Trouble & Care, but songs such as "Outside" seem like pointless reworking of older material.") link
