I am so in love with this record, it is very cool and hip. It has some great melodies and riffs. All very simple and well orchestrated; it sounds as if all of the instruments are well planned and placed, a bit too methodological for a rock band. “Howl” has the emptiest sounding vocalist crying amist a great drumbeat accompanied by the organ and the guitar and bass. They possess a classic rock based style that takes some of its attitude from the country and folk traditions. “Still Suspicion Holds You Tight” has a harmonica solo, and has a great rhythm that flows prettily along unhurried. “Gospel Song” was done well and had such a mellow beat and pace about it. One of my new favorites new songs is “Complicated Situation” not only is it a very hip song, but his voice is so smarmy and sassy, I just love it. My favorite aspect of the entire album is how it stays at its own pace, and does not try to rush out the music. - Clara Flores
