This has Kozelek's best pair of bookends I've heard unless one counts "Strawberry Hill" and "Brown Eyes" as a singular piece

Give Admiral Fell Promises a spin if you haven't, it's tied with this one for me.

I love how "Lost Verses" makes 10 minutes feel like 3

Only listening for the third time right now, and I am completely floored by the beauty of Tonight in Bilbao. Lost Verses is amazing as well. Might prefer this over Ghosts after listening to this some more.

How you can write a perfect song like Moorestown and then have it topped by Tonight In Bilbao is beyond me...pure brilliance. Both top 10 songs of all time for me.

Yeah this album is amazing - Blue Orchids too
Somehow I also agree it is a 4.5 rather than a 5 though

waking up to falling leaves, putting on an extra layer and clicking play on "Lost Verses" before making the hour-long walk to work is honestly one of my fondest memories

Yeah, Lost Verses and Blue Orchids are up there as well.
There's a big difference in quality between the four songs I mentioned and the rest, I think - the other songs are far less interesting. I never feel like listening to Heron Blue or Like the River.

Heron Blue and Like the River I really rate highly
I'm not always in the mood to listen to 'Tonight the Sky' - but it's still really good. Just a bit different and yeah, lengthy

Alright, so this is the latest stop in my ongoing Kozelek exploration... Having a bit of trouble with it so far (three listens). A lot of these songs are just kind of boring and repetitive, pretty but not quite beautiful like the other stuff I've heard from Kozelek so far. The vocals are a bit odd too - he's not doing the talk-singing thing yet but a lot of this is only kind of barely-melodic, really doesn't grab me at all. There are definitely great moments but even they feel a bit like mixed successes. May just need more time to grow though? A bit surprised since I've adored all the other Koz stuff I heard pretty much from the off and this is still one of his most popular.

For me this might have the most immersive atmosphere of all his albums - frequently find this beautiful, especially the last two tracks which are outstanding imo :/
A little warning - you may not enjoy the last two RHP albums based on this assessment which also have the same dreamy/wistful mostly nocturnal vibe and leisurely presentation

It's certainly immersive...but it's also kind of boring. Songs stretch on way beyond the extent of their ideas (this kind of trick works when the ideas are great but here they're mostly just good) and it really just fails to captivate me. You could easily cut at least 2-3 minutes off of all the long songs, and maybe that's kind of missing the point, but on the whole it just really drags; even the short songs are pretty boring. The overall feeling it gives is that I should want to pay attention to the lyrics, but again the delivery doesn't really draw me in. Idk, maybe I'm being too harsh, I probably won't rate this below a 3 because there are definitely good moments, but if anything the overall presentation diminishes their impact.
The last two tracks are great, though "Tonight In Bilbao" just kind of sounds like a weaker remake of "Duk Koo Kim".
"Lost Verses" is a beaut, I'll give it that.
