Album Rating: 5.0

This might actually be their best album. I guess I'm the only person who thinks that.

Album Rating: 3.5

Forgot how good "Shanty For the Arethusa" was. I probably underrate this album tbh.

Album Rating: 4.5

amazing album, the guy just writes the best lyrics

Album Rating: 4.0

Their style was never a gimmick and I so wish they had kept with it. I get Meloy translated lots of this to his novels but their sound and approach was so unique.

The Gymnast... use to be my break-up song lol

Album Rating: 4.2

Average should be higher.

And his fingers, are they telling

Of the barren of her belly?

Do his calluses cure her furrowed brow

Even now?
