| Okay so far so good, some guy talking ominously about the origin of man in a lizard-alien species and the Garden of Eden and crazy shit. |

| The first track, Firewall, is actually pretty decent. Slow buildup, some cool atmospheric things going on. I dig it. |

| One minute into the boring intro to Shell Games and BOOM, synths and tims, all 80's. |

| Oh Jesus, that song really doesn't improve. Oberst's quavery voice makes him sound like a zitty 17 year old being forced to do karaoke to Modern English. |

"Now you are / how you were / when you were / real"

| More samples on "Approximate Sunlight," probably the only redeeming feature of this album so far. Song still sucks. |
