To say one of this dude's records is underrated is almost a cliche at this point but damn this is gonna be overlooked on basically every year end list

"Marian" is obviously The One from this but I think "Becca" is also a career highlight

there's like 5-6 songs on this I would comfortably rank with the best he's ever written. that's not including Andi and Jets which are top-shelf b-sides

Yeah, this is top tier d’Agostino. Chorus of Diamond is the most recent thing to jump completely out of nowhere and take hold

Some lyrics here are on the same tier as the best work of people like John Darnielle or David Berman.

yeah the way the strings build up to that unbearable climax just to drop down for the last "come and live it down with me" is fuckin masterful
