honestly, i think left and leaving is much easier to overlook.

In my eyes, Left And Leaving has so many amazing songs, more so than this even (as proven by being many of the highlights on the live album) but this is absolutely the better album in my eyes

really? i think this has more amazing songs, and is the better album. is the live album a video or just music?

This album is catchier and easier to get into, in fact I've probably listened to it more than Left and Leaving but LaL is just way more dynamic and has depth that this album just doesn't

this is better and i have a raging boner for all their albums



i'd also love to see these guys live, i hope they play some shows together soon. for now, seeing John Samson live in Munich should hold me over (he played lots of Weakerthans songs)

this is a lot easier to listen to than left and leaving, i think because the songs are much more concise. the flow from song to song is better and the songs are shorter. also, i just noticed the less is more reference, which makes two lyrical references dropped into the review, making this just about the best review ever.

this one develops more on aesthetics and building album structure, instrumentation etc but they're both the same ol' weakerthans. i could describe the debut as "punkier"

that sounds fantastic. yeah, the structure/flow of this album is one of the main draws of this album for me. a lot of the songs on left and leaving are the same quality, but they drag on and there are some weaker songs. this album is perfect in every way imaginable.
