    Thanks God this is finally out. Anyone else excited? :D Great record, even better than Ghosts of the Great Highway. Kozelek's melodies just seem to get better and better. Definitely my favourite album of the year so far (Mind you, 'tis only March!). I think the whole album is streaming at their myspace too

    I'm glad someone mentioned this album because its absolutely stunning in my opinion. Tracks like 'Tonight in Bilbao' trump much of what I have heard this year.

    Yay for the Sun Kil Moon <3! Nobody ever seem sto mention RHP on here either :(

    Tonight in Bilbao reminds me of the very lovely Duk Koo Kim a bit (in a good way obviously! :)

    my fav mark kozelek song has to be 'ruth marie' from the rock'n'roll star album/EP, one of my fav songs of all-time.. RHP and SKM also great - absoluetly adore RHP's 'songs for a blue guitar' in particular.. see him live in whelans late last year?.. amazing..

    Huge fan of RHP/SKM but I reckon they're a bit 'meh' live - he seems very reluctant to stay true to the album versions of songs.

    Thats good news, i went to see him last year, very enjoyable. I brought someone on a first date to it, i wasnt to sure if she would like it, but she did. Alas, we have just remained 'good friends'.

    Sorry to drag up this old thread but I just heard this album for the first time and I really like it.

    I came across the song 'Heron Blue' in the trailer for 'Gears of War 3' and decided to check out the album.
