I think the first song is incredible, and then a little while later I'm listening to "Big Burned Hand" which straight up sounds like Sam Beam found a funky 80's pop hit he loved and dubbed his vocals over it.

The last 4 minutes of "Your Fake Name Is Good Enough For Me" make me want to pull my eyeballs out of my head. Seriously the most annoying thing Sam Beam has ever done. Overall I think the album is decent. About half really great tracks and half WTF tracks. Slight step down from The Shepherd's Dog, imo.

Why I love this album is because Sam Beam takes all these crazy influences, and makes every song sound like a gospel song, one way or another. I also just love his voice and his writing.
And I bet "Your Fake Name" is sweet live. I love songs that disintegrate into madness like that.
PS If Iron and Wine is at Sasquatch, and if they play The Trapeze Swinger, I'll lose my mind.

You either missed the obvious help, or you are taking my playful attempt to help to a further level of funny. Hoping for the latter.

Just finished Kaputt (plus Bay of Pigs if you get the vinyl). What the fuck Dan Bejar? I just pretty much had a total moment. As I said in another thread I loved the first side, then by side two I was kinda thinking "Great stuff, but maybe a little to much?". But side three, holy shit! I really forgot where I was for a while. Excellent record experience, for sure. Listening to Bay of Pigs after almost felt giddy. Good job Dan Bejar.

Just had it pointed out, that it was actually "side three" that was vinyl only ("Prelude(Estuary)", "Nagel's Marimba", "The Laziest River", "Palm Springs Life", and "Landing on Water"). Wow, these songs really seal the deal.

I think that everyone should torrent the new Bright Eyes instead of paying for it.

Ok, I'll do this again...
Conor had a brother who drowned in a bathtub when they were both children. Conor went on to write roughly ninety bagillion songs about it, get rich and contract herpes from some emo chick(s); his brother stayed dead.
