Dropped by BMG

In September 2003, You Am I were dropped by record label BMG after “the company refused to support a tour of the US.” AllMusic’s Hal Horowitz noticed it was “a slight departure from their existing catalog, Deliverance nonetheless delivers the pop-rock goods… The acoustic guitars that propel much of the last half of the disc don’t soften the band’s sound as much as muss it up, adding a rootsy, more organic texture.”
