Monsters Of Folk is a real pleasure, full of songs that are loose, catchy and likeable.
-
It's a counterfactual, of course, but I've got to think that Monsters of Folk circa 2005 would have come up with something a bit more substantive than this.
-
There's no sense of cohesion or flow between any of these songs, partially due to a clear lack of thought devoted to these conceits, but mostly because every M. Ward- and Conor Oberst-penned song sounds the same lately.
