it's ridiculous how this album relies on the mr.bungle's influence

It took years for the last 5 or so tracks on this to click but now that they have they might be some of my favorite songs on the album.

Just started The Dear Hunter discog run last week and haven't gotten past this one cuz it's just too good. Does it get better than this? Should I do all of the acts first or just listen chronologically?

Album Rating: 4.0

Better dependsnon your perspective. Act IV and V are also cindidates for best Act album imo

Album Rating: 4.5

I really admire the musical variety they display while still feeling largely cohesive. Are the others more sonically adventurous?

Album Rating: 4.0

Act III isn't really, but it is quite punchy

Act IV and V are more similar to this and develop the sounds here further, I guess. They move away from the emo indie post hardcore thing and more towards indie alt rock bossa nova musical stuff, if that makes sense

Album Rating: 4.0

And yea, I should probably up my rating for this a bit

Album Rating: 4.5

I can picture that progression just based on the jump from act I to II. Album is really teetering on a 4.25, so I'm not sure where I'll land. Just really been digging this lately and I'm assuming a lyrical deep dive will secure the 4.5 for good.

It's quite possible! This has that early album with shitty production charm to it. Everything after this is better produced
