i actually think this is a little overrated and too much focus is put on it especially in comparison to roman candle, which is better.

however, christian brothers, as well as the twofer that ends the album, is some of his best work.

eh, I've always thought that either/or and roman candle have their distinctive flaws which are sorta endearing but also bring down the albums a little.

it's an awful awful troll... who weirdly enough is 100% devoted to imitating/making fun of me or something. I'm like almost sure I know who it is but it's still a little weird.

Either/Or seems to drag in a couple places compared to this and XO, imo.

This is a brilliant album but I find it difficult to connect with on a personal level. I've only managed that with Either/Or.

Yeah, not anymore. Album kills me on a personal level.

Honestly, Satelitte is one of the best here, and Alphabet Town and St. Ides Heaven are really strong as well.

In my opinion, of course

Needle In The Hay's chord progression caught me off guard, I'm not entirely sure what to think of it.

Either/Or feels more consistent to me, but this has my favorite tracks.
