very chill, much like Boxer. Although I feel there is a slight glimmer of optimism that shines through this one, whereas Boxer sounded pretty bleak overall.

The soaring ending of England rules. The whole album pretty much rules face with the exception of Runaway and Little Faith being a little boring, yet ok.

Devendorf is indeed, the best drummer in indie music.

I think the vocals on the end of "Afraid of Everyone" are "You're the voices swallowing my soul."

Great album. Does everyone have an awful-sounding demo of Terrible Love as the first song?

The stream is pretty fuzzy, until the vocals come in, I was like wtf at first but it grew on me by the end.
