It all turns out so ridiculously fun-- with Ken Burns-style readings of speeches from Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, daguerreotype cover art, and song titles all participating in the reenactment-- that it never even begins to approach the pretentiousness these elements might suggest.

Titus Andronicus have just put on a phenomenally brave and ambitious sophomore album, The Monitor.
Ngl im pretty disappointed by this, I knew so many people were hyping this up on the internet, but when I listened I was supremely underwhelmed, the instrumentation was above average but I really didn't care for the vocalist, he was borderline annoying
Extremely energetic and spirited punk rock record with themes of history and government spread throughout. It's a very intriguing project and it sounds great! It's a little lengthy, but it's definitely worth the full listen.
The opening and closing track are incredible bookends to such an honest, creative concept indie/punk record. the civil war themes are so perfectly wrapped up here it's a breathtaking, heartwrenching experiences.
oh btw i almost burst into tears when the bagpipes come in at the end of hampton roads
