I love Okkervil River. Lost Coastlines, off of the Stand-Ins album is one of my favorite songs.

I want a new album. As much as I love pop culture references and porn stars I want Will Sheff to unleash the inner demon again.

Black Sheep Boy is undeniably their most powerful album. IMO.

Yeah, BSB is far superior to the last two as a whole album. There have been great songs. But as an album, start to finish, BSB can't be beat in the Okkervil River catalog, IMO. "Black" is a fantastically angry and dark song.

What do you guys think of their earlier albums? I'm loving Down the River of Golden Dreams but I can't really get into Don't Fall in Love With Everyone You See.

They're all OK to Good. I like the dark vibe of BSB the most - all the earlier stuff is definitely sunnier.
