Sleepy Eyed

Sleepy Eyed is the fifth album by Buffalo Tom. The band was looking to move away from the polished sound of their previous album in favor of a more stripped-down, live-sounding approach.

The subtitle of "Twenty-Points" namechecks The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, by Nan Goldin.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "Simultaneously grungy and clean, anthemic singalongs like 'Tangerine' and 'It’s You' do a lot to restore Buffalo Tom’s erstwhile status as everyone’s favorite raucously sincere college rockers."
