Yeah it definitely seems to be well received, I checked some of the overa critic aggregates.



Realistically and objectively, this is at least a 3.5 or 4 album. But this is only after one listen and it’s impossible for me to be completely objective.



My score sheerly reflects my subjective opinion/rating, which is more or less how I rate on Sputnik. I was about to go with a 3, but then seeing albums I’ve rated 3, it just didn’t make sense for me.

Asphalt Meadows legitimately ranks up there with the band's best work for me.



Curious how this one sounds, but excited to give it a spin.

Definitely enjoyed this on my first spin. It's very pleasant, straightforward indie-rock. Part of me misses the beautiful atmospheres that permeated Asphalt Meadows, but this could grow on me once the melodies sink in a bit more. My favorites right off that bat are How Heavenly a State, Full of Stars, Punching the Flowers, Trap Door, Riptides, and I Built You a Tower (b).

It has the feeling of an album that will randomly hit me one day when I'm playing it in the car. Just given the sheer amount of songs I liked, it seems inevitable that I'll grow more attached with time.



Great review!

Trap Door is such a perfect song encapsulates the death cab sound very nicely

Man Hawks, considering you and I are on the same wavelength with Plans, you've got me hyped to check this out. I'll get around to it when I can!
