Re: Anyone Else Just Thrilled To Tears?
Not in love, but sometimes the album really hits me in a good way.
Broken Things, Mercy, The Riff, If Only, Rooftop, and Snow Outside I can listen to anytime.
BBN, Gaucho, and Drunken are all solid.
Belly Full and Sweet are throwaways but still listenable.
I love the quality of the production still, but not in love with how Carter sounds. He just seems muffled and his toms aren't as evident as other albums. Listening to Carter play on The Riff and then listening to Rapunzel or Kit Kat Jam, it's as if he is using a different drum set that doesn't have as much to play. Often feels one-dimensional.
I'd put it above Big Whiskey purely because BW has some lazy shit on it, but it's gotta be 5th overall.
I thought the album translated horribly in Chicago last year, but hoping that was an anomaly. With the new additions to Rooftop and Gaucho I hope that everything else progresses just as well.
