Absolultely stunning album. It's not Houston, We Have A Drinking Problem (a personal classic and near-perfect album), but considering that half of the album was recorded post-humously without Derrick Plourde, AND that the album was considered unlistenable for a while, Joey Cape gains new respect here. From the guarded optimism of "Good Morning Night" to the jarring trainwreck rock of "Best Western", the haunting, folksy acoustic melodies and brooding strings of "Minus", and all the way to the eight-minute masterpiece of "The F Word", Cape and Co. pulled out all the stops here to give Derrick and Bad Astronaut their final send offs. Not surprisingly, Plourde's signature drumming leaves an unmistakable mark on the music, reminding everyone that he was truly a giant among men. The album has a truly schizophrenic quality here, with the post-Derrick tracks sticking out, but the incredible catharsis present here will truly touch anyone with a heart who's ever lost someone. Despite its unfinished/broken sound, this is arguably Cape & Bad Astronaut's finest performance. Buy this NOW.
