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.

I love the songs, i love the art work, even the smell of the paper they used!!:)
When the cd starts playing I press the replay button, you can hear the whole album 2 or 3 times and won't get bored. This means two things, that the tracks are well chosen and placed in the right order in the album and that they have a very similar and connecting sound (someone could say that they didn't really experiment on this album). Well, that is probably true, you won't find a hard rock track next to a ballad (like in MUSE) but the band clearly loves alternative music and they make the audience love it too. I would put Funeral in my 100 best alternative songs of all time.
