Gave it a solid vote. Nowhere as good as it's hype but it does grow on you. I can think of a dozen albums this year I like better.

~~Farfisa~~ · 07-29-2008, 02:13 PM

didn't they release a full length just a year ago?

cardboard adolescent · 07-29-2008, 05:58 PM

I've only listened to it once but I really liked it. It definitely has some great high points.

cardboard adolescent · 07-30-2008, 09:58 PM

Yeah, it's really good. It's like Another Green World colliding with Warehouse: Songs and Stories or something.

"Nothing Ever Happened" is probably my favorite song by them. I think the new album is "amazing".

I saw them in Brooklyn on Sunday. Calvalry Scars live was incredible.

I can't find this album anywhere online.

Solid imo.
Listened to it only once though. I think it'll only get better.
Who gives a **** about their 'pitchfork' status. The last time i used that site was...umm...i don't even remember using that site.

People get so irritated by Pitchfork, its really funny.

I find it has the opposite effect everyone thinks it does. When they highly rate an album, everyone laments that Pitchfork rated it too high and makes it their goal to say its mediocre, and then promote some other band Pitchfork didnt rate as high.

I think Pitchfork is a great tool to discover new music. Not infallible, but then again, contrary to popular belief on this forum, nobody ever said they were.
