before i say anything about this album, i'll just throw out there that i am a HUGE JD fanboy. he is the only lyricist that i would put ahead of dylan. i love pretty much anything he records. 'we shall all be healed' features some of his best lyrics, which are based on people john used to know who are "mostly dead or in jail by now". he paints the most vivid pictures in the most creative and witty ways with his astounding wordplay. this album has a perfect mix of the lo-fi mountain goats sound and his more polished sound. now i dont know much about meth-addicts other than they are usually pretty fucked up people. but somehow JD manages to not only give us a sense of what life as a meth-addict is like, but he also makes us empathize with these messed up people. i guess i'll just finish this with a verse from one of his most moving songs 'your belgian things'. "The arteries are clogging in the mainframe/ There's too much information in the pipes/ I saw the mess you left up in the east bedroom/ A tiger's never gonna change its stripes/ I guess, I guess/ but Jesus what a mess/ One way in and no way out."

This is one of my favorite albums ever. The emotion John Darnielle sings this album with is infectious and carries you through this entire meth-recovery epic.
