After listening to their second album until i'd pretty much worn out the disk, i was really looking foward to experiencing their first album, especially since all the other reviews on here claim that its the best thing Band of Horses have ever done.
Alas, I'm really sorry but i found it a very disappointing album. Possibly because my expectations were so high. But everything that i liked about 'Cease to Begin' seems to be missing here. Few of the tracks stand out as interesting or distinctive. Ive listened to the album maybe 10 times in the last week and no track grabs me or remains memorable. Ben Bridwell's voice verges on annoying, especially on tracks like The Wedding, where the repetitions seem to go nowhere.
Overall, the album lacks the overwhelming intensity of sound that i love on Cease to Begin.
Guess i'm going to be the only one to rate 'Everything all the time' with 3 stars!

There's a wistful melancholic air to much of the album characterised by some downbeat lyrics and angst ridden vocals, and yet the songs are sung with such verve, that despite the nature of the lyics, they end up sounding almost triumphant. This combined with soaring guitars, and an alt country edge, makes this my album of the year so far. Favs are Monsters, and the jaunty Weed Party. Can't wait for the tour!

All the reviews here give a good synopsis of what this album is about. The vocals and melodies are top notch. Fans of My Morning Jacket, Grandaddy etc will love this. I bought the album on the strength of the song 'Funeral' which was on an Uncut free CD. Great variety of songs too. From the epic soaring Funeral, Great Salk Lake to the beautiful album closer, St Augustine. Its almost perfect.
