I love '68 and all things Josh Scogin related. It's kind of weird to me, though, that they're calling this the heaviest of their records when "In Humor and Sadness" still exists.

"@RakkSmells that definitely makes more sense. I dont have a problem with anyone disliking anything I like cause its really not that deep, but I was just confused by the inconsistency. Thanks for clearing that up"
