Arguably this is Okkervil Rivers most rock oriented album, that's not a bad thing either. One thing I want to note on this is their frontman Will Sheff who's an incredible lyricist on this album I love is delivery so much on some of the tracks. He delivers these long narrative lines and some people have critisized this saying it shows that his lyrics don't transfer to music well but I beg to differ I think it makes them all the more powerful and there's a certain level of intelligence about it I can't quite put my finger on. Anyway this album is beautiful, from the upbeat A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene to the slow pornstar inspired Savannah Smiles all the way to the breathtaking closer the various suicide attempts of John Berryman.
