It is most definitely a grower. I liked it at first, but like it more after about 5-6 listens now. I agree with you that This is Embracing is better, and maybe even his first one, Runbox Weathers, but the EP is a more manageable length so it gets points for that. It's a bit of a different direction, and I'm curious where he'll go from here. Hopefully he's got an LP in the works since that's technically an EP (some places call it an album, some an EP...so who knows).

Oh, and I've been digging this since yesterday: The new Caribou album, Swim. It's a lot less pop driven than Andorra (an improvement to me)

Really loving this album and band. Favorite tracks: Sons of Ghosts, Longing for Colors, Alp Lugens and Beyond Two Gallants - What the Toll Tells Just a really great album with lots of awesome songs.

Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy (2010) Sometimes I dislike grabbing leaks because if the album sucks then I feel a big let down, especially when it's albums that I'm greatly anticipating. Luckily this is Nevermore we're talking about and they haven't released a bad album since their debut. The Obsidian Conspiracy is exactly what I want from Nevermore, heavy, melodic, amazing production, and Warrel Dane's powerhouse vocals. Anybody who has ever curled their inner fingers inwards while extending their other two NEED to get this album. The Blood of Heroes - The Blood of Heroes (2010) This was an album I grabbed solely based around the cover art. I knew nothing about the band, who was in it, what style of music the play, etc. I was quite surprised when it was an eclectic blend of reggaecore, industrial, experimental, and d&b. Usually with that many different conflicting styles I'd expect the album to feel inconsistent or schizophrenic but the band manage to fuse them all together into a style that is both unique and captivating. I threw this album on last night while writing my final essay for my English class and it just clicked so well. I would highly recommend this album to anyone who likes weird, eclectic stuff. |

I guess I'm surprised at how little I play this album. I haven't put it on all the way through for a while, and all the songs are just coming off as really fresh and beautiful to this day. It might be in my top three Radiohead albums. As a loyal fan to Broken Social Scene, I'm happy to say I really like this album. Thank god they didn't disappoint. Been Rockin Black Keys lately: |

I like Dan Bejar's songs best, as usual. It's still a good all around album though
