I love it. Definitely gives a different mood than Black Sheep Boy. But it'll grow on your quickly. I dl'd it a couple of months ago now when it leaked, and i've found myself wanting to put it on quite a bit.

I haven't heard it yet but Black Sheep Boy was my favorite of 2005 so I'm excited.

It grows on you. I really dig it. Not going to be AOTY but will probably make my top 20 or 30. It's memorable compared to some other releases this year.

And of course she thinks it's weird. It's YA.

I like starting with the very first album bands release, so I'd start with Stars Too Small.

This isn't an AOTY contender? It ends with Sloop John B. for god's sake!!

This is one of those albums everyone should hear, even if not everybody will like it- I think it's absolutely incredible.
