My brother gave me a copy of it around '03 or '04 and I might have listened to it once or twice. I was ambivalent towards it until about, oh, eight weeks ago. I've heard it playing so often in my room I swear I remember all the goddamn lyrics. Now it just feels like Mangum's vocals grate against the back of my skull every time I hear it.
And for the record, I learned about the lead singer's name because my bandmate (and roommate) is obsessed with Elephant Six.
