I obviously like it a lot. It's a little more accessible than their earlier work, which I think with Woods is a good thing because there is actually a great level of talent in Earl's songwriting, which doesnt always come to the fore. I feel on Songs of Shame it does. Yet, at the same time, the album is still replete with those grainy, eerie freak outs. For the first time, up to that point, I think the band got the balance right.
