this album just came out and i already know that it is going to hold a very special place in my heart-- and i have so many thoughts already. the storytelling, lyricism, instrumentals, pacing... literally everything. i'm obsessed. janie captures and delivers an experience i've never heard from a song before. truly beautiful. also, had a lot of fun listening to the two singles! from listening to the unreleased version of dust bowl previously, to seeing it live last fall, to the finished ... read more

been listening to some of their songs for a while now, finally decided to dive into their discography entirely and i'm glad i did. not a single skip on this album and i'm obsessed with the instrumentals on all of these tracks. the intro, pacing, overall cohesion of the album... all amazing. really liked how the album closed as well. i am interested to dive into the lyrics when i relisten! and am also excited to hear more from them.

finally diving into to one of my favorite bands' entire discography (with the purpose of analyzing/rating instead of just listening). i have consistently listened to songs off this record for about five years now, and found some of my favorite songs oat here. lyrically and instrumentally, this record does not disappoint. for being released in 2013 as a debut album, i happily give it a 90.
i also really love some of the tracks on the deluxe!

i don't even know how to describe how it feels to listen to this. going into it, i was a little worried i wouldn't like it but. it's really good. was a no skip for me, but not something i'd turn on at anytime, so for that reason a 95 instead of 100
