Fear Yourself is an album by the American musician Daniel Johnston, released in 2003.[1] [2] It was produced by Mark Linkous.[3] The album included an 8-page booklet with exclusive Daniel Johnston drawings.
The Independent wrote that the "fancy production ... works to a point, but, by the end, you find yourself preferring Johnston's usual eerie starkness."[4] The Washington Post determined that "Johnston's pained, humble songs are eerie and sensuous, emotionally textured in a way that demands only amplification, and Linkous's vintage box of tricks suits the songs beautifully."[5] The New York Times concluded that Linkous's contribution to the music "reveals the cracked, epic romances hidden within Mr. Johnston's singsong."[6]
