K.J. has a beautiful voice which fits the music perfectly and the lyrics aren't have bad either. Fantastic album.

I haven't heard this one, but I have their album XYZ and one of their EPs and they're both top notch. Great band indeed, I'll check that one out.

The singing style on a song or two reminded me of Death Cab for Cutie, and one song in some way even reminds me of Extreme's " More Than Words" (yeah I know, ewww). And I'm not into alt-country or americana, though I do enjoy more and more a bit of country-tinged indie rock. And of course I do already really like their first two albums. So I guess it's not unnatural that I would really like this album, except for the mediocre/negative first impression. But now I can't seem to get it out of my head. I already played it once this week, and have a ton of other stuff I've been meaning to play, but had a song stuck in my head as I was between albums earlier so I had to put it on. Just as good every time. There's just always something about their lyrics that I can connect with. I know some people find this boring but as I said, it's a grower. More so than their past albums. And I think it's really awesome. If you don't let it grow on you, don't expect to like it.

That album is certainly a grower alright, it's now my favourite album of the years so far. After a few listens you start to notice the progression from Cease To Begin both lyrically and musically. It's a truly amazing album and the best of their career so far.

Or "It hurt so badly it was like having baseball sized anal beads being ripped out my ass."

Then again I doubt that would be the case as this is the 'Albums You're Digging' thread so it wouldn't make much sense to put bad albums in it. I wonder if they make baseball sized anal beads...

*goes on 4chan*

Definite contender for the year so far. Not sure if it's above the other two albums...they're probably all on the same level for me as of now.
