Holy hell, what an amazing album, such attention to detail, everything flows so well! Those guitar and banjo tracks weaving back and forth, the vocals. Completely blew me away after their very redundant first album.

You can listen to a few tracks here.

hmm. I wasn't actually that impressed by it with the first listen. thought it was a good album, but nothing spectacular at all.

Finally, I've been waiting to make this CLAIM for fucking ages.

I'm in that Album cover photo. I know, I'm so cool.

I'm liking the album, falls down at some points but essentially delivers what you expect, hasn't blown me away.

I really enjoyed although I like their older music better for some reason.

Pretty good, except my sister played it over and over during a 4 hour car ride yesterday, then she and my dad got into an argument over whether their cover or the original version of "The Boxer" was better.

A lot of the songs tended to blend together too, maybe I can't see it but a lot of them sounded similar.

i like it but i have to say im really disappointed. i felt like it really lacked a lot more upbeat fast paced songs. it was really mellow, and i love the more intense songs they had originally created on the first album.

isn't even a competition. their version of The Boxer was the weakest part of the album in my opinion. I actually skip over it. it kind of ruins the song. S&G did it a million times better.

Haha no, but when I was looking for myself I thought that might have been me at first.
