The most immediately gratifying album they have ever released. As a bonus Make You Better is easily the best single the band have put together.

This seems to have been playing on repeat in every single record shop this past week, haha! "Lake Song" is pretty. Reckon
this is as good a starting place as any in their discog?

I'd recommend you The Crane Wife first, if you want to get a better idea of all the sides of their sound. This one might actually be their most immediately rewarding as someone pointed out, but it's somewhat unrepresentative.

afoolonahill: if you liked this I recommend that you also try The King Is Dead. In due time, check out their past discography, especially The Crane Wife, The Hazards Of Love, and Picaresque...I have to warn you though, they are far more theatrical/progressive.

"All that I wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl" Well that hasn't changed for me.

And testosterone, let me know what you think when you're all done. Lots of people think the second half is weak - and I'll admit I agreed for a while - but now I think it holds up just fine. Still not quite to par with the first half, but not a detriment by any means. Every time I listen to this album I go all the way through, not skipping any tracks.

@sowingseason I thought that the second half was good. It was not as good as the first half tho. I thought 12-17-12 and the closing track were great.
