    A singer's record.

    Mountain Goats have just added a further chapter in an ongoing saga of (micro) relationships examined against a backdrop of (macro) global concern, We Shall All Be Healed being the most explicit yet.

    Darnielle is a lyrical genius, for sure, but... you're left wishing for a song, just one song, that doesn't sound like a man strumming or plucking that damned folky guitar. [Mar 2004, p.96]

    This is one of those albums that a lot of people just won't get because, honestly, it's above them.

    It's going to be hard to top this one. For the next one he's better off going sideways.
