    Yeah. I don’t know how the two or so deniers pulled it off but there should never be a scenario where one has to qualify liking Asphalt Meadows as a personal opinion. That album rips!!!!

    It's true. Even their WORST album is still a better album that many bands could hope for. All timer discography.

    Foxglove Through the Clearcut is one of their best songs. We Have the Facts is their best album.

    Accidentally listened to the closing track first and thought it was a really bad opener. Oops.

    And that's why you always leave a note.

    That's a great analysis, for sure. The middle ones can ebb and flow too, depending on mood, haha.
     
  9. Agreed
     
  10. This is good so far. Still don't love Ben's voice at times compared to what it used to be, but the singles are working better for me in context (which is shocking because I didn't realize "Punching the Flowers was track two) and the title track into "Envy the Birds" is great. Love the instrumental of "Stone Over Water," just not the lyrics/melody.

    No huge standout moments for me on my first and second listens, but a good and solid album.

    They need to make an album called "Automobles" so they can have Trans, Plans, and Automobles in the discography

    Almost done listening. Very simple and tight album. Little bit more menace sprinkled throughout than I expected.

    Didn't know that Ben had another divorce. That's a bummer. I imagine that's going to be a factor for this album.

    Lots of people in here very comfortable referring to Mr. Gibbard by his first name.
