    Because of its unusual structure, Holy Ghost rarely manages to play to all of its strengths at once. It’s a bold choice, both interesting and admirable in its way, but it’s hard to get past the fact that it undoubtedly lifts towards its conclusion--building towards an energy it never properly inhabits.

If I had writtenUnlike Modern Baseball's previous two albums 'Sports' and 'You're Gonna Miss It All', I did not like this album at first. If I had written this review two days ago, I would have perhaps rated it 6 or 7.
