I'd never heard Bill Ryder-Jones before this album and I loved it - I think a little more than most on this site though.

I've seen generally positive things about it. Like you, I wasn't familiar with him either. I just liked the album cover so I bought it. Lol

It's got stuff on it I like, so maybe with more time I'll come around to it.

I bought Belle and Sebastian's If You're Feeling Sinister because I liked the name of the band and the cover - didn't even know what type of music it was. Turned out to be my favourite album of all time and a big part of the reason I moved to the UK.

Aaw that's a cool story. I like that.

Admittedly, I don't buy albums on cover or name that often. I usually have some idea about what I'm picking up, but it can turn over some real gems. I've never been left utterly disappointed in a random purchase. Not as far as I can recall.

My friend, Colton, we are all a little odd. Even you, my friend.

Lol, earlier today I actually thought of B&S as a contrast to VW in terms of good twee.

Halfway through, the production on this record is super fun, the piano and drums especially

I don't know it's pretty good I should probably put out a nice charcuterie board for every one of my friends and force them to listen to this and give me their unbiased opinion

Yep - I definitely love you.

After listening to VW mostly non-stop for the last 2 weeks the English Teacher album has hopelessly seduced me. So much good music to listen to at the moment...

Fairly perplexed on first listen. It might be genius or it might be awful. Maybe somehow both.
