Great, Great, Great album title. It's a situation I'm sure we've all felt before. Taking in the song title and the album cover probably won't clue you in on the sound to be found here. Then, if I told you that they have been know to do spot on covers of entire R.E.M. and Hank Williams records, and that the singer sometimes busts out solo Leonard Cohen covers concerts, you'd probably be even more confused. But the theme of this month, if you haven't already noticed, is metal that those who do not like metal might like. This record, kinda qualifies as metal in that it can be heavy as fuck sometimes. But there's plenty of beauty to be found here as well. The lumbering pace of many of the tracks might test your patience, but I find this to be one of the best records to play when on long walks by oneself in the freezing cold.

not my favourite record of theirs. but such a great band...
ReplyDeleteIt's really impossible for me to play favorites when it comes to their albums. I think it just depends on my mood at the given moment. As far as a complete discography goes, I think they are amazingly consistent.
ReplyDeletei didn't care too much for the newest one. but ya, definitely consistent given the variety (Courtesy vs. Pleaser and etc).
ReplyDeleteReally, I enjoy it quite a bit. Maybe I just have some type of band crush and have a hard time telling when they aren't living up to it all. Who knows?
ReplyDeletei've really come around to this one. So Great.
