    It's a record to get lost in, one that constantly surprises with its apparently infinite number of hidden harmonies and wry asides.

    There's nothing that betrays their high standards of craft, but, on a whole, the songs are neither as hooky nor as resonant as the ones unveiled on its predecessor.

    Everything Must Go is a profound disappointment.

Great humor!… Expand

    Brilliant album. How something so rich and textured can also sound so effortless is what makes these guys geniuses.
