lmao I need to hear his earlier stuff already

IFWWW is my favorite guitar album hands down

Album Rating: 4.9

ooooh exciting

Album Rating: 5.0

The reverb and overdrive combo he uses is unreal, he runs his Martin D28 acoustic through a valve amp on IFWWW on all of the tracks other than the title track, Rivers, Conrad and All Is Now Harmed. It has to be the darkest, saddest sounding guitar tone I've heard. Muddy, yet piercing. For EOTA he actually put the amp inside a piano to get the natural harmonic resonance/feedback that he was looking for.

"This is one step above something you'd find at a Starbucks."

Come on man

Album Rating: 4.5

Outrageous! It’s two steps above



But those two steps are EVERYTHING

Album Rating: 2.0

One step above would be like B&N or Borders

What's two steps above? F.Y.E?

In all honesty:

Walmart > Target > Starbucks > Barnes & Noble > FYE > any private/local record shop

Album Rating: 4.5

I used to like those Starbucks albums. Is that why I 4.5 this?!

Album Rating: 4.5

I can't handle the truth

Album Rating: 3.6

new tune just strengthens my sneaking suspicion that pretty much all the best songs didn't make the standard album

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah I'm sure he deliberately left his favorite and the best tracks off the album.

Album Rating: 3.6

the former prolly not but the latter is demonstrably true, just listen to Bird on a Wing again



artists do it all the time it's not some alien concept

Album Rating: 4.0

As good as Heave Ho and Bird on a Wing are... A Boat to an Island.
