I like this quite a bit. The bass playing and drumming is especially strong this go round. The vocal melodies are starting to sink in, but they’re not as immediately awesome as they have been in the past. I wish they started this at Four Cypresses, left off Wasted Acres and moved Mourning Sound toward the end of the album. The sequencing in general isn’t great in my opinion.

I could see some re-arrangement being made, but I'm pretty happy with it as-is. I didn't care for the opener at all at first but now I love it.

Yeah, I already like it as much or more than Veckatimest and Shields. I love both of those too.

GB has always been a "good not great" artist for me

This is the first to break the 4 barrier

This is already kind of growing off me

I much prefer Grizzly Bear when they're at their folkiest (read: the first two albums). I feel like that's when the songwriting and emotion we're at their strongest, before the pretentiousness kicked in.

ugh the I love the atmosphere on Three Rings. Ed's vocal melody in the second half of the track is absolute class too.

It's been gone for a bit. Even my temporary 5 wasn't enough to fight back.
