ep (the fiery furnaces)
This is a good album, and I kinda think of it as the default Fiery Furnaces album- it seems like an even balance of their more adventurous sounds and their clearer pop ideas and their sea-chanty storytelling. I wonder though if I've heard these songs too many times, if the sense of surprise and joy has dissipated through sheer familiarity. My reaction to these songs is, "yep, they're Fiery Furnaces songs," not "Hell Yeah! Let's hear that again!"
Favorite moments: probably the heavy-landing chorus of "Duffer St. George" and the forboding, melodic introduction to "Cousin Chris."
Altogether good; I wouldn't skip these songs on shuffle, but I'm not going for this album when I need music.
