    I was really underwhelmed by this album. I love their older stuff and while every song is decent, none of them are great. I stopped listening with two songs left. I was just over it. I won't ever listen to this album again. I'm disappointed.

    Great vocals, great guitar riffs, great acoustic songs. Album grew on me very much, at first i was not a hundred percent into it but now i really put it on play more frequently. And the intro like holy cow, soooo good

    Unlike 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. However, after giving this album a chance, I realise that it is Modern Baseball's best album in terms of composition and writing.

However, after giving this album a chance, I realise that it is Modern Baseball's best album in terms of composition and writing. Their sound and writing has matured a lot since their previous full length release, and this album contains none of the wit or humour that I loved about their previous albums. This album is much more serious, talking about mental health and loss, rather than girls and awkward social situations like on their other two albums. I prefer the second half of this album (Lukens' half) as I just like the short and angry songs. Expand

    This is my favorite album of all time, I found Modern Baseball after they broke up sadly so I will never see them live but seriously, this album **** ROCKS. My favorite album opener of all time it's not even close.

    Holy Ghost [is] their best effort yet.

    Overall, their sound's much tighter. Filled with more impact and warm, relatable moments. It's a passionate plea.

    It isn't just the narratives that feel more mature however, the entire composition does. Something which stems from its two individual halves.
