| | : Haughty Melodic Review |
| | Haughty Melodic's standout track is ' I Hear the Bells '. | | | I obtained an advanced copy of Mike Doughty's Haughty Melodic late last week before my trip to Pittsburgh and have since listened to it to the tune of 400 times. | | | These three songs wer otherwise well cared-for in the studio however and wholly sate the thirst of those who have heard the songs thousands of times live and wondered how studio renditions would fare. |

| | The new album is Haughty Melodic and it has a whole band on it. | | | As for "Haughty Melodic"--I've been listening to various versions of most of those songs for the past four years and I really find these arrangements to be overwrought. | | | i got haughty melodic just to get a clean version of that song and i couldn't even make it through the first listen. |

| | Haughty Melodic is Doughty's first solo release to feature a band, making comparisons to his old band inevitable, but this really is a different beast. | | | Even with his rather drastic switch from hip-hop hipster beatnik to acoustic solo troubadour, Doughty retained a large part of his original fan base. | | | It's been five years since the demise of Soul Coughing, and up to this point, Mike Doughty's solo releases have been solo in the truest sense of the word: He is literally the only musician present. |

| | Haughty Melodic is his first full-length album as a solo artist. | | | The record, from Dave Matthews' ATO label, is highly produced -- the sign of a deliberative recording process. | | | NPR.org, July 18, 2005 · After leaving the avant-garde band Soul Coughing, Mike Doughty toured across the country playing stripped-down solo acoustic gigs at small clubs. |

| | And although Haughty Melodic is a reinforcement of Mike Doughty the Songwriter (as opposed to M. Doughty the Beat-Jivin' Jazz-Funk-Psych Band Leader), it is still a reminder of his idiosyncratic stature in contemporary American music. | | | Haughty Melodic also surprises at turns: the up-tempo waltz "Tremendous Brunettes", a salute to innocent peeping Tom-ery, features a duet vocal from ATO label head Dave Matthews that works better than expected, the two singers' five-o-clock shadow voices twirling into a gritty whole. | | | Mike Doughty: Haughty Melodic - PopMatters Music Review |

| | With his new album Haughty Melodic, Doughty returns to the spotlight. | | | Haughty Melodic was recorded in Minneapolis with producer Dan Wilson. | | | Having proved insufficiently commercial for the majors, the band is back with its third studio album on the small but feisty Brash Music label, and with a newfound sense of melodic and lyrical subtlety. |

| | Haughty Melodic is easily the biggest musical disappointment of 2005. | | | There's no gentle way to put this: Haughty Melodic is an utter piece of shit, and it's a piece of shit from someone who is capable of better. | | | It will be fun, though, returning to the store where I bought it and saying, "you know, I'd like to sell this piece of shit back to you." I hope the junior manager's there. |

| | I’m finally getting around to listening to his new album, Haughty Melodic, and liking it a bunch. | | | Matthews has a credit in the liner notes of Haughty Melodic, but I’m not sure for what. | | | The fuller sound disguises how similar a lot of his songs are, something that was more evident with the “small rock&; sound. |

| | Mike Doughty: Haughty Melodic |
| | Haughty Melodic is Doughty’s first proper full length since disbanding with his former group in 2000 — he had previously self-released two EPs and a live album. | | | The twelve tracks on Haughty Melodic display Doughty’s knack for vivid imagery in his songwriting — often of the everyday mundane. | | | While some of these songs have been a staple in his solo sets in recent years, they get a full band treatment here for the first time. |

| | InsidePulse.com » Music » Mike Doughty - Haughty Melodic Review |
| | If I didn't know what I know, "Haughty Melodic" would seem to be a wonderful collection of tunes from a guy who clearly has relationship issues and a fixation with pop culture. | | | That mix truly separated the band from the pack of post-grunge "alternatives." His non-sequitur lyrics wove vibrant images with winks to hipsters while the band as an entity maintained an attitude, an ominousness and a funky-ness that contributed to the utter unclassifiable nature of Soul Coughing. | | | This is his first outing with a new band (Semisonic's Dan Wilson and ATO label founder/fellow acoustic guitarist Dave Matthews make guest appearances), and the arrangements are tight with the guitars high in the mix. |

| | However, his new "Haughty Melodic" puts him back in company with a full band, albeit a less distinctive one than Soul Coughing. | | | True to the second half of its title, the new release is melodic at times and inviting with its organic pop-rock flow. | | | In fact, except for those few who've acquired a taste for it, Doughty's delivery is too unpalatable not to turn off listeners at some point on "Haughty Melodic." It may be his most accessible solo project yet, but until Doughty finds an adequate replacement for Soul Coughing, his audience will be limited. |

| | Haughty Melodic: A Crank's Review That Good Night |
| | The end result is a kind of glorious failure, something that simultaneously refutes and redefines pop music, though that wasn't necessarily the band's intention. | | | Hearing Grey Ghost in lazy 4/4 (although the drums of course are still deadly precise) trying not-all-that-hard to sound like something off of Paul Simon's "Graceland" seemed to me a musical misunderstanding of the piece. | | | Taking up sonic space somewhere between Skittish and elevator music, irradiated with a heavy dose of freaky Dave Matthews alien mind-control rays, Haughty Melodic rubs me in all kinds of wrong ways. |

| | The choice cuts are the mid-paced songs like "Everybody's Leaving," "Talking on the Phone" and "Without You," which shine with effervescence but allow the melodies and open-armed choruses to unfold at a more natural pace. | | | Donna the Buffalo's latest release "Life's a Ride" is a happy-slappy little album full of cheerful little ditties. | | | It's most effective on the first track ("Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well"), a perfect addition to any road trip mix tape. |

| | Delusions of Adequacy: Mike Doughty - Haughty Melodic |
| | The opening track on Haughty Melodic is nearly perfect, the ultimate combination of everything Doughty does well. | | | He toured solo and the music caught on, and soon label interest came calling, leading to a proper release of Skittish and its follow-up EP Rockity Roll. | | | Going back to that old-time gospel feel he did so well on Skittish is “Grey Ghost,” a lovely and sweet song, and you see bits of that in its follow-up, “His Truth is Marching On.” |

| | SOUND JUDGMENT: Mike Doughty; The Wrights; Aimee Mann; Dr. John; Amerie |
| | The album title is a too-clever anagram of Michael Doughty's name -- too bad that much imagination didn't go into the actual music on "Haughty Melodic," the dull and listless new recording from the former leader of Soul Coughing. | | | Expectations are high, considering this is his first full-band effort since the much-respected Soul Coughing broke up in 2000, and the proceedings begin well enough with the sprightly "Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well," showcasing his vocal cadences and brawny guitar work. | | | Unfortunately, most everything goes downhill from there, even in songs with such intriguing titles as "Busting Up a Starbucks" and "Unsingable Name." Bland arrangements and less than revelatory lyrics add up to yawns, and Doughty's duet with Dave Matthews on "Tremendous Brunettes" is forgettable. |

| | In failing fashion, the first few tracks of Haughty Melodic are ready-made for pop radio. | | | His vocals are clear and resounding and the guitars are evenly split and distinguishable (thanks to crisp production by John John). | | | Although the greater portion of the disc is infused with bluesy riffs and Americana, the sequence and overall tone remain melancholic. |

| | Be wary of the therapeutic nature of Haughty Melodic, as well: based on the content of the lyrics, it seems like Doughty’s been through a lot since his old band broke up. | | | If you have a tolerance for well-written, well-produced pop songs, give this record a shot. | | | For me, Mike Doughty joins the ranks of artists like Pete Yorn: you know they’ve got an awesome record in them, and while they haven’t quite worked out all the kinks yet, they manage to impress you with a catchy ditty or three. |
