The singing style on a song or two reminded me of Death Cab for Cutie, and one song in some way even reminds me of Extreme's " More Than Words" (yeah I know, ewww). And I'm not into alt-country or americana, though I do enjoy more and more a bit of country-tinged indie rock. And of course I do already really like their first two albums. So I guess it's not unnatural that I would really like this album, except for the mediocre/negative first impression. But now I can't seem to get it out of my head. I already played it once this week, and have a ton of other stuff I've been meaning to play, but had a song stuck in my head as I was between albums earlier so I had to put it on. Just as good every time. There's just always something about their lyrics that I can connect with. I know some people find this boring but as I said, it's a grower. More so than their past albums. And I think it's really awesome. If you don't let it grow on you, don't expect to like it.
