"The easy things in life keep gettin' harder every day"

On my first listen now, great if kinda unassuming album. That quoted line is one of those "so simple, so good" lyrics that I always appreciate.

Awesome review!

Love the review! I love a lot of the songs here, but I don't think it matches the same feeling I had when listening to Rat Saw God the first time.

Rat Saw God remains my favorite album of theirs, but I definitely think this is a worthy follow-up

Liked it on first listen, agreed about second half dropping off a bit. Getting some weakerthans vibes esp from the first half. We'll see how this grows on me

Man, this really opened up for me on the second listen. Might be on the Rat Saw God level of quality, which, if so, means it'll be one of my favorites of the year.
