    I remember finding Mirage Rock boring which was disappointing because I was really into everything up until then. I should maybe go back and listen again.
    I really liked Mirage Rock from the beginning. But I could see how you found it boring. I thought it was just enough of a departure that it kept me interested in hearing what they would do next. How to Live, dumpster World, and Heartbreak on the 101 are some favs. Mirage Rock is over Why r u ok for me

    Love all their albums. Hard to put my finger on what I think their best is. I think parts of them all are really strong. The Ryman live record is the one I play over and over.

    I really enjoy all of their albums, including Mirage Rock. I thought Why Are You OK? was a really solid album and that tour was so fun and energetic. Hard to rank all of the albums, but they are all VERY close in my opinion, including the new one. Wish they had a headlining tour.

    Great albums and I love Infinite Arms and Mirage Rock has some great tracks. I could not get into Why Are You Ok? Loved a few tracks, but not the whole. Really loving the new album and can’t wait to see them with Black Keys in Atlanta!

    Yeah I’m perplexed as to why they are not headlining their own shows, I’ll pass on seeing them as openers for BK!

    Heard them cover INXS on Sirius today. So cool they are throwing it into their live shows! My Morning Jacket covered the same song, Never Tear Us Apart some years ago at Red Rocks which was cool!

    Haven't really listened to the new BOH much yet. Love everything else they've done.

    Finally got to listen to the new album. Still digesting but my initial reaction is wow 

    btw I listened to it on the clear vinyl. Sounded great but when did it become industry standard for no mp3 download.

    I would argue the last two tracks on the record are the strongest. If Ben would take the sound of the last two tracks and expand it, I would be all aboard. It’s BOH but different enough. I think he hit on something

    They are opening for the Black Keys when we see them in Cincinnati. I need to get familiar with their music before then.

    Enjoy! I’d say get into the first 3 albums and the new one to start. I’m particularly fond of Infinite Arms.
