Pretty dang good album. Some days I actually prefer this to Funeral. A bit more accessible I think. Good start to finish.

Reassuring. I thought that Neon Bible was a bit of a slip after Funeral... Then they bounce back to brilliance. Well done!

I get insanely bored with this album, and by no means has this been a grower. The best listen was the first. Sprawl ii was the only song that interested me in the whole thing but... verse/chorus structured music gets old FAST.

^ this


it's an awful album. It shouldn't be ranked above the far superior Neon Bible and there are so many better albums from 2010 that could/should be making #1 of the year on our site.

It's embarrassing that when people look at the BEA top 100 that this will come up before they even get halfway.
