Would like your opinions on this album, take a listen if you havent heard it. IMO it is one of the truly greats, up there with Sgt Peppers, Dark Side Of The Moon, Unknown Pleasures, Ziggy Stardust etc... Its a mix of dark, brooding Indie Rock & chilling folk that really grows on you after repeated listenings. Everything about this album is solid, the drumming, the guitars, the bass & the horns. But what stands out the most are the lyrics, delivered in Matt Berningers caustic baritone they describe adulthood, losing touch with friends, falling in love, stalking & losing the grip on oneself in the most poetic & twisted way ever.
Please take a listen and share your opinions I am really interested in what you think of it.
