picked this up yesterday, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I haven't heard a whole lot of their older stuff so I don't know how it compares to them, but I'm gonna go see them on Friday so maybe I'll pick some older stuff up.

the first three tracks are especialy good as is the 9+ minute track "Bushels" (except maybe the last minute). Some of the shorter songs aren't as impressive but all in all this is defintely worth picking up (in my opinion at least)

I prefer The Golden River but this album is definately good.

I still am not able to explain Fro Eyes' appeal to anyone. You either love it or you don't is the case it seems.

It's a very good album. It's nowhere near as poppy as, say, The Folded Palm, but that's okay. Though I haven't heard all of their albums, I must say it's their best from what I've listened to thus far.

It definetely makes me want to find more of their stuff.

Just downloaded it this morning before heading to work, so I only got to listen to about 4 songs, but thus far it sounds great. I'm a moderate fan of their previous stuff, so I'm kind of surprised to be so excited about listening to it again.

Any canadian indie band with Spencer Krug sounds all the same...not that it is bad...it's just all the same thing...and it's not that good too...

I award this album the bronze, with folded palm taking gold and golden river taking silver.
