If you think its his worst lyrical output, I'm in for a treat (though that does sound strange to say because of how vehemently sad his lyrics are)

Oh yeah theyre sad, but so is all of his stuff haha.
Down Colorful Hill,
Rollercoaster and
Ocean Beach are physically taxing on me; theyre just so emotionally draining.
Ghosts of the Great Highway is also magnificent and possibly contains my favorite song of theirs (Carry Me Ohio). They're on a whole new level of depression for me. Paralyzing.
I mean, I should say, I still like parts
Benji, but i dont think it's nearly as good as most other albums that Kozelek is involved with.
