Boney I need to put up an Eitzel sad boy tune top 10, there's more where that one came from.



That is definitely top 3 here though, perfect song.

'Songs of Love Live' is definitely the next stop for you, most of that one is sad as all hell

Good review of course, but I don't think I'm feelin that 5 my man

Think I'm gonna start with AMC

Album Rating: 4.5

FoS I don't expect everyone to 5 this. I'm someone who has listened to this dude for 15 years over 20+ albums. On the 'Eitzel scale' that for me runs from a 2 ('Candy Ass') to a 5 ('California') this is a 5. All the albums are somewhere on that scale. I've reviewed two other solo Eitzel on Sput at a 3.5 ('Don't Be a Stranger', this albums predecessor) and a 4 ('60 Watt Silver Lining', his solo debut). I don't feel like I'm blind fanboying this to death, I have spun it a lot.

Album Rating: 3.0

Can't go wrong with California, I feel like that one's appeal is a bit more universal than this one's but maybe that's just me.

Album Rating: 4.5

This is the only Eitzel album where I think every song is at least very good/excellent. He's notorious for dropping clangers on otherwise good albums (take a peak at 'Hello Amsterdam', 'Bad Liquor', 'Crabwalk')

Album Rating: 3.0

If you ignore "Bad Liquor" California is pretty consistent I'd say.

Album Rating: 4.5

I'd have thought this is way more obviously appealing than California which is very mumbly/moody/atmospheric.



The critics all love this so I'm really pleased for Eitzel he's getting some recognition. This could have easily ended up a self released album selling about 200 copies.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah I bumped California to a 5, it's untouchable.



Western Sky/Blue and Grey Shirt/Last Harbour vs Singer & Ham/Humphries/Nothing & Everything. You know what, I'll stick my neck out and say I prefer the latter three.

Album Rating: 3.0

Definitely the first three of those for me, those ones from here are all really good though.

Album Rating: 4.5

I liked the Pitchfork comment where that said Eitzel on this album could almost have been the 'outsider' member of the Rat Pack. I feel that. This album has a unique appeal I dunno.

Album Rating: 3.0

It's enjoyable for sure, I may be underrating it a bit tbh

Take your time don't sweat it Boney bro

Album Rating: 4.5

'Nothing and Everything' is a showcase for Eitzel the songwriter, there's no vocal grandstanding.



'Singer & Ham' and 'Humphries' are showcases for Eitzel the singer/showman (the ham) so that's why I love them more. Dude's a beast, why not show it?



The latter are so much rarer in his recent back catalogue. All confidence baby.

I like this a lot so far
