Rated 6/10

A cool Mexicali sound. for me it was again something nice to be exposed to but I didnt find it special.

Rated 6/10

This was pretty good - I liked the instrumentation. Close Behind and other mostly instrumental tracks were my favorite. A high 3.

Rated 6/10

This didn't do much for me on the first listen, but on the second I kinda warmed to it. Some of the songs are reminiscent of good western soundtracks, others just fade into the background. And there was one that sounded like a Bond song (Black Heart). Overall, an interesting mix of styles, but I wouldn't be rushing to listen to it again.

Rated 6/10

It’s country, mariachi, and indie rock. Good at setting a scene. I like the second half of the record more than the first.

Rated 6/10

Disquin del chill, como los primeros. Se agradece después de los últimos que me habían tocado.

Rated 6/10

Favourite songs: Sunken Waltz, Across the Wire

Least favourite songs: No Doze, Whipping the Horse's Eyes, Guero Canelo

3/5

Rated 4/10

This whole thing sounds like the soundtrack to some gritty HBO or Showtime series set in the southwest. Is it any good? It's alright I guess. Does it belong on the list? Probably not.

Rated 8/10

Evocative and enjoyable, without quite hitting the heights I would have hoped for. Fun though, and a band I would be happy to hear more from.

Rated 8/10

Yllättäviä biisejä ja kivan monipuolinen kokoelma!

Rated 4/10

Hated parts of this, enjoyed other parts of this, I’ll have forgotten about this album come next week…

Rated 4/10

One radio hit does not a profound album maketh. I'd swap in the Decemberists if we're looking for a bohemian rock ensemble vibe.
