Editorial Reviews
NME
Plaskett is a star. Needle-thin and with tousled brown hair, he spends 30 minutes blinking into the spotlight as he plucks his way through his ultra-fragile highway blues. His between-song banter resembles the sweet surrealism of The Flaming Lips Wayne Coyne; his actual songs (Id Rather Be Deadly Than Dead, Goodbye, Doctor) sound like the third Big Star Album. His debut release, In Need Of Medical Attention, is a concept album about doctors. Try to find it.

Product Description
Former Thrush Hermit frontman steps out on his own. Quite a departure from the harder-edged Thrush Hermit sound, "In Need Of Medical Attention" was recorded over the course of two years and is interspered with incredibly personal themes. This album is a real showcase for Joel's immense talent and songwriting ability.

5 out of 5 stars A little on the weird side..........2003-11-28

This album requires some getting used to. It explores a darker side of Joel Plaskett and I can see that some Thrush Hermit fans may be disappointed here if they're looking for rock. I still thouroughly enjoyed this album and suggest it to anyone who enjoys Thrush Hermit or Joel Plaskett

"in need of medical attention" is a beautiful, sad record. sparsely produced and elegant. lead off track "the news of your son" will leave you breathless. if there was any justice, it would be number one all over the world. it's haunting. the rest of the record lives up brilliantly to this advance billing. "goodbye, doctor" will stay with you for days, while "i'd rather be deadly than dead" will have you humming in your cubicle while watching the clock. frankly, this is the best record you will buy this year. you owe it to yourself to receive open plaskett surgery.
