While this album might have quite a few tracks on it that dragged the album out a bit, it's still pretty fun overall.

However, as much as I love many aspects of this album, I do find it to be a little cumbersome in some spots and I don't think it totally justifies its double-album length. I get that the sloppiness and rough edges is a big part of what makes this record great, ... read more
