Album Rating: 3.7
"Does it amaze thee that I could be this banged up and still thrive?" asks distinct You, Me, and Everyone We Know front-man Ben Liebsch, on the lead single from the band's new EP 'Dogged'. And after all that he has been through, it does amaze me a little. Returning to being a proper band & not just a one-man show, the quirky Liebsch continues to deliver witty, relatable and alternately touching & humorous lyrics that are very involving. All 6 tracks provide something different, while the melodies & harmonies are genuinely catchy. He has - sorry; they have - done it again. Recommended Tracks: Does It Amaze Thee?, Eat My Hands & I'd Rather Be Sleeping.

This was one of my top three or four favorite releases of last year, easily. Came out of nowhere for me, I'd never heard anything of theirs before, and I usually don't go for the "quirky" Say Anything type of music, but there's something irresistibly charming and catchy about this EP. Nice review.
