Don't know how good this is but Born Into Trouble As the Sparks Fly... is a classic to me.

songs of gentle worry, there are some supreme moments on this album

I just have to say this...

God Bless Our Dead Marines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most outrageous lyrics with these climatic fanatic lyrics of "I love my dog and she loves me" which narrows it all down in one line what this song is all about.
Him being sick of the world and loosing touch, talking absolutely out of the context about his love to his dog. In another way: Show off the world that he critizises about with demasking those utterly crappy morals like sending soldiers to death and afterwards blessing them in "good will". Efrim never made it this clear ever again and this finale is just beyond expectations with the last acapella-singing back-and-forth each other releasing the maniac tension in an almost psychotic way, where it is "just" a dream.

For me this has a simmilar raw energy like "Exit Music (for film)", my favrite radiohead song. Though this one might be even better, just because of the ending, although this record doesn't come close to "OK Computer".

Album Rating: 3.5

these songs all make me like sad and stuff but?? 4/5

Arguably their best. So many sublime moments on here like the self-titled track, and the vocals are flawless.

Album Rating: 5.0

devastating album

holy fucking shit

Album Rating: 5.0

the hungry and the hanged,

the damaged and the done

I am firmly convinced that this band purposefully named all their other albums absolute trash so that the genius of this one's title would shine even brighter. Fucking inspiring.

Album Rating: 3.0

Damn Conor Oberst sounds worse than I remember 😔

Let’s fully commit to a direction where we highlight by far the worst part of the band. Cool.

Album more or less falls off after that

Album Rating: 4.5

No way this falls of at any point. Some of the most creative, poignant, and honest music of our time follows haha
