When I first listened to this album I was kind of wishing it had some heavier type tunes like Alligator has, but now I'm realizing I was wrong. This album is just really growing on me with more listens. He does have a way with lyrics and the songs are heavy in a different way.

i agree. I have a habit of not giving newer albums a real chance after listening to it for the first time...i think it's because there's so much out there and it's so easy to get. But this album has really grown on me with multiple listens and quickly becoming one of my favorite albums of the year.

How is it?

Love it! It's a little more mellow than the other two albums...but still great. I'm going to see them tomorrow night!

Good does not mean nor automatically imply like.

Example, insulin shots are good, but it doesn't mean that whoever is taking them likes it.

um.........riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

This is the National album that's making me a fan, I think. I thought Boxer was pretty good, but I didn't like it, and I couldn't figure out why.

 

Sleigh Bells - Treats

 

Excellence.

not sure exactly what you mean here...you said 'i thought boxer was pretty good, but i didn't like it'...? either you like it or you don't. anyway, now playing:

Yarn - Come On In

American Aquarium - Small Town Hymns

remember that song about that guy who was in that band that had those guy singers that played rock and roll music and it sounded really cool?

How is that? I run hot and cold on Josh Ritter.

i'm hot/cold on ritter also...but i really like this one...it's definately more mellow than the last album.

it's a blast. the album cover does kinda fit the music/aesthetic tho

 

sorta curious if Pfork will hate it or love it, kinda feel like there's not gonna be any middle ground with them.

agree! it's definately a fun pop album. it's the best 'power pop' album i've heard since weezer's first album & matthew sweet's 100%. it's hard not to like it.

now playing:

wow...this album is so friggin' good.

Saw Gregory Alan Isakov last night. What an amazing show. Here's some video that i took:

some photos i took from the show:

JBM - Not Even In July

Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record

Goton Project - Tango 3.0

just pick whatever you want...i'm gonna try to find stuff that isn't the 'norm' over here...i'll probably go to the 'back of the rack' to find some old stuff.

or...everybody can just trade with everybody....post a link to your mix up here...or a PM with the link.

I'm in as well! love these things.
