Hey they actually recorded this one in a real studio this time! On top of that, everyone sings and plays far better than before, and a newfound heaviness is present due to the way they strum their guitars (spoiler: they strum hard). It's thus rockier, as well as darker due to Calvin Johnson's lyrical matters - although counterbalanced by two sweet and very much twee Heather Lewis tracks. Despite containing their most renowned track ("Indian Summer"), and while the production step up sure is welcome, it just does not hit as hard as the first album.
