A couple interesting notes about Car Seat Headrest, which might help explain why I like them so much. First, Will Toledo grew up in the same town in which I now live, and attended the same college a lot of my friends are attending. For his earlier albums, he often recorded overdriven vocals in his car at 3 a.m., in the parking lot of the Target I pass every day on my way to work. Second, Toledo and I are around the same age, meaning he grew up with a lot of the same mid-2000s pop I with which I grew up, and which my parents would often play in the car. For example, he alludes to "White Flag," by Dido, in one of his songs; while I hadn't heard that song in a while, it played an important role in my childhood.
So while the album is, indeed, great, with its wry lyrics, catchy hooks, and overall message, I have a number of other reasons to be attached to it.

I love Ulcerate; so far I've listened to
Shrines of Paralysis and
The Destroyers of All, and I plan to start
Vermis any day now.
