    I listed to the first few songs on the Rolling Stone stream and enjoyed what I heard. I can't wait to hear the whole thing. They are among my favorite harmonies in folk/rock today. They are also really good songwriters. Very fun live band too. I caught them at a small club in Phoenix last year and was very impressed. Ended up getting a copy of the setlist at the end of the night too. That's the only time I've ever secured one of those at any show I've been to.

    I've listened to the whole album a couple of times through now and really enjoyed it. There were two songs (track 4 and 5) that didn't do much for me but the rest was pretty good. Would definitely see them live again.

    Love this album. Standouts for me are Homecoming Heroes, Cruel, Let's Be Still, 10000 Weight of Gold, and Gone. Great album though. Don't particularly like Summertime, or My Friends but the rest is awesome.

    I agree about your standouts. Is it me or does Summertime sound like a Mannheim Steamroller Christmas song with a couple of flourishes of a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song? I can't listen to that song any more. I gave a few times through and it just isn't doing it for me.

    I also agree with your standouts, but I do enjoy My Friends. Another Story is another standout for me. Great album!

    I'm getting to see these guys for the first time live next month. Pretty stoked, just wish it wasn't on a Tuesday night.

    Has anyone seen them on their current tour? No opener is listed on the venue's site. Is it an Evening with...?

    Saw them in Baltimore back in May and they put on a good show, seemed they were having a great time. They did have an opener when I saw them.

    I enjoy them sometimes as a guilty pleasure. Funny story my friend told me: Him and his friend were talking to a few girls after a show in Boise, just bumming around behind the venue when the lead singer came out with a guitar and all the girls ran off mid sentence. My friend was just like, "What are you gonna do, can't compete with that."

    Nice! Have fun, man. They put on a great show. Looking forward to seeing them in Portland next month.

    Don't like the new album as much as the first two, but it's growing on me. Not having Josiah be as much of a presence is somewhat noticeable. Hope he's able to rejoin them soon.

    Thanks, man. I am not terribly familiar with them. Have friends that wanted to go and got tickets last minute. Have been plowing through albums

    Saw them for the first time this summer at a festival and was super impressed. Would love to see a full show! They just came to NYC, but couldn't make either show. Next time!
