the best pop album of the decade. genius sense of vocal melody. a perfect circus of honky tonk struttin' guitars with dreamy lulls and a bed of instruments pulling in 4 directions at once but going to the same place. super inventive kaliedoscopic song structures , off kilter but inviting. this band has a melodic sense of genius, which is reflected in the vocal harmonies. weirdo pop album of the year for sure. everything is a surprise. pieces together the best moments of dream pop, honky tonk , western, freak folk, & hypnagogic pop. a brilliant work, and totally it's own thing. play each and every track at least thrice. wowowowowowowow. 11 stars out of 4. get this to number one for a year.
