Great cover art.<3
Anywhae, I've listened to it a few times and the jury is still out. It took a while for me to discover all the brilliant songs on St. Elsewhere and I think it's the same with this one. The only real standout for me right now is Blind Mary (the negative standout is Whatever, I chucked that one off the playlist fast).

Which one of you motherfuckers voted awful???

First time listen and I think this will get a few airplays at work tomorrow. I will reserve judgement but I'm liking what i hear. A couple of standouts already for me.

I think overall they've gone a bit slower and even more retro...a fair number of great soulful tracks on it. I like.

Yeah, the CD would be A LOT better if their sound wasnt so formulaic. I think the creative writing is amazing, but it sounds like they deliberately went for retro ONLY vs seeing if the retro sound actually applied more than a modern track.

lol adidasss....I actually like Whatever and play it quite often. It reminds me of some crap that my depressed friends would say. I like a majority of the tracks...even though they went the slower/soulful route. I wonder if the next album is going to be mostly uptempo.

My fave tracks are Suprise, Neighbors, Run and Who's gonna save my Soul.....I noticed that everytime She knows comes on...I skip to the next song....

I heard run today for the first time,
it seems like they've stuck to the same
sort of structure st.elsewhere encompassed?
