Outside of the genre? He definitely is, especially as a producer

"Outside of the genre? He definitely is, especially as a producer"

well ig you could make that case for the entire band, Idk I really don't feel like his work as a guitarist has really gone underappreciated, he's like one of the heroes of the sophiesfloorboard generation

but you're right about his work as a producer

Yah no offense at all meant really it’s just idk. Gotta be a few weird voices out there you /don’t/ like and this is one that feels like it renders every line labored but in a way that bothers me. Too much pyrotechnics no sense of counterpoint. Sometimes just right but not for me all told

I can see that tbh, it does veer towards overwrought at times but once it grows on my all the little quirks are amazing.

This is def better than Bark tho. Could be a 3.5, kinda anticipate the vox staying a roadblock but there are some real riffs here

Bark is better, but Disowned is what really matters.

great indie rock album overall, of course, but 'Waitress' is one of _the best_ indie rock songs of the past however many years or so.

both are probs in the middle third of this, although Powerful Man is absolutely one of their best live songs

I mean Frances is one of the finest songwriters of the last 15 years or so there's really no take on "best" that could be wrong
