"I went down to the store today. Uh. I bought bread and juice and met a real nice cashier. It's hot out. I play my guitar."



This is basically the caliber of lyrics you can expect from this guy these days

Why's it invalid to say this is barely musical? I mean, look at the guy's older stuff and compare to this. Dude's not even trying

Benji was pretty horrible, really. But this release reminds me that i need to jam Ghosts of the Great Highway soon.

The lyrics are honestly fucking awful not gonna lie. "I order my ice tea like I always do: black and unsweetened. I looked at the solar eclipse a few hours too late. Yeah that's right. I decided to sleep in today. There was too much talk of what damage the sun could potentially do your eyesight and my eyesight's already getting blurry. And I need my eyes, so I can see New York beautifulize". And that's one that I was just listening to, I wasn't even cherry picking a bad one.

that tells me this is not worth looking into. Seems he needs to do podcasts instead of albums if that is what he fills his songs with. I don't see an argument for this being good.

Idk if he's being genuine or not, but that whole "he's just dicking around" rationale only gets you so far before it stops feeling like satire lol. In the first song there's another lyric where he orders food or something for a table nearby and he says "it's on me. It's onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn me" and he stretches the note for like 30 seconds and I think it's hilarious. Another "has to be a joke" moment

He still writes crazy good guitar stuff, it's just more subtle



Carissa, Micheline, and This is My Town come to mind

There are some beautiful moments on here, but he tends to ruin them, like when he kept repeating 'diarrhea'.

My love for you is undying is so fucking awful. Lovely little guitar passage that he does nothing with and repeats ad infinitum and rambles a lot of bs for 13 minutes.

My Love for You Is Undying is amazing. I love when he starts laughing in the middle of the story because of how ridiculous it sounds
