it feels wrong to call this the best album ever lyrically because it's so new but I can't think of anything better

Le'aupepe is, bare minimum, top 5 rock lyricists right now, and the only reason I'm not going to say he's #1 for sure is that Aaron Weiss hasn't officially retired yet

Well, he hates this album now FWIW. Might take a new lyrical approach on the next one.

Craig Finn, this guy, John Darnielle, Kendrick Lamar and Bob Dylan are probably top 5 for me out of currently active artists

"Well, he hates this album now FWIW"
that doesn't mean anything imo, super talented people often hate their own work

Sure, but he also called it self-indulgent and my guess is that is exactly what we appreciate about the lyrics here.

Interesting. It's hard to really know what that means in the context of these lyrics. Are they self indulgent just because he's writing about personal topics? Or just because they're kinda verbose at times? cool that he's humble about it though

I am always afraid when artists talk like that about their obviously incredible work because it makes me fear they're going to do a "stripped-down return to roots record" that loses all the charm and wonder of the thing that made them famous.
I'm all for Gang of Youths evolving but I hope they can build on GFIL's foundation, not bulldoze it

It sonically sounds like The National at points, especially Keep Me in the Open, but I don't see any resemblance lyrically.

Keep Me in the Open is the best song The National never wrote for sure
