My first listen as I try to catch up on stuff I’ve missed throughout the decade, and my lord what a good place to start. This whole thing is stunning - lyrically, vocally, instrumentally, the world. The title track might be my favorite. Gave it two listens, could see myself bumping it up after returning to it.

So happy I discovered this masterpiece before the decade's end. It's up there with C&L easily. Heck, I might enjoy this even more.

Glad you listened to this. These guys are staples of the folk genre. Crack-Up is another masterpiece.

I think I’m experiencing the Mandela effect because I really remember this being a whole bunch of peoples ‘favorite album of the 2000s’ but this came album coming out in 2011 and that doesn’t sound right either

I am troubled cause I just finished listening to Manchester Orchestra before this and it's crazy how similar their voices are.

(it's not the same guy right?)
