Rated 6/10

I enjoyed listening to this but it was just fine overall

Rated 8/10

I definitely would've been into this if I'd discovered it around the time it came out. I love the folky indie rock that came out in this era. Some really beautiful songs and lyrics here.

Rated 1/10

My kingdom for one of these where the guy actually fucking enunciates. This has actually helped me figure out why I'll make time for Mountain Goats, but not most other N.A. Folk Music—for all that people rag on John Darnielle's singing, he's at least not just slack-jawed moaning and slurring his way through his lyrics like so many of these guys choose to do

Further demerits for slide guitar.

Rated 6/10

Good, but just lacking a wee bit of magic. Pleasant sounds for pottering about, but doesn't really grab my attention.
