With all due respect to their previous recordings, it’s safe to proclaim to every man, woman, and child: Dr. Dog has arrived!! In the early part of 2007, as music listeners get real comfortable with this record, many of us may have to remind ourselves that it’s not 1967. This masterpiece is crafted from that same heart that folks like Brian Wilson, Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were masterfully culling from to create some of the most important songs ever recorded.

Dr. Dog have created a classic that is not only timeless, but rich in soul, alive via rock and roll, at some times eerie with its familiarity, and wholly unique in sonic experimentation.
The production on We All Belong lends as much to George Martin as it does to Jeff Mangum. The songs written by the young gentlemen in Dr. Dog could be considered a grand homage to the brilliance of an era long gone, or even a wake up call to a generation of equally uninspired and tiresome indie rock. This is where many will find a new appreciation for Dr. Dog which can easily last another 40 years or more.
The Press Speaks on Dr. Dog
-"Not only is Dr. Dog's We All Belong the first great rock album of the year, it's already on my short list for Top Ten albums of 2007." Jeffrey Morgan, CREEM Magazine
- The Boston Globe says the new Dr. Dog LP is "Fucking Great!”
- "4.5 out of 5 stars" Alternative Press Magazine
- GQ Magazine says "We All Belong" is (so far) the best record of 2007.
- "These Philadelphia boys debuted last year with a fine record that matched the Shins with smart, retro psych rock.” -- Rolling Stone, Sept. 2006
- "The most common critique/gush/bash on Dr. Dog involves the word "Beatles" and the suffix "-esque." Bah — cliché. "Gondrylike" is how this mellowed gold sounds..." -- SF Weekly Sept. 2006
