I don't even know what to say about this nightmare.
Unimaginative, unoriginal, and unintriguing. I was hoping that the lyrics would be interesting at the very least, but they’re very bad and I just can’t find anything good to say about this. It couldn’t end soon enough. 1/5
thanks to this list i now know that bill callahan is a shitty country version of tom waits.
Oh piss off, Bill, you nonce
I found his voice/ style of sing/ talking over the music really grating
Sometimes I wish this wasn't the album of the day.
Musically this album borders between easy listening and boring... tipping over into mind numbingly boring. Vocally, the narration of lyrics was akin to Rick Jones narration on Fingerbobs in the 1970s. (Kids TV show) In fact it would have better if monotone Bill had just broke into the Fingerbobs theme song (Google it). I can't imagine how anyone could choose to sit and listen to this album, it's just so depressing and mournful. For me, this album is a complete waste of time that could be better spent hovver boarding iover tha Alps n your pyjamas listening to pigs squealing along to a Lewis Capaldi song.
One of the most boring albums I’ve ever listened to. If I had paid money for this, I would be very upset. Total snooze-fest all around.
the tracks names are very mountain goats-esque anyway this album sucks sometimes i wish i we were an eagle so i could fly to your where you live and shit on your windshield
Its like if The mountain goats lost he soul in a deal with a violin player
This album is putting me to sleep. Definitely not what I need on a Monday (or most days really). Pretty horrid really, weird sounding instruments also, it felt like the guitars weren't tuned correctly and something was a little off. This is definitely not an album where longer songs are better. The way his voice is mixed it sounds like it's layered over the top of the music, but as with almost everything in this album, is not good at all. Best: Eid Ma Clack Shaw Worst: Jim Cain
I do not like the kind of speaking-singing that is happening here. I am not a fan of that kind of thing, so this does not vibe with me at all. The songs feel like you mashed Seven Swans Sufjan Stevens with Andrew Bird with Magnetic Fields. Despite liking each of those artists individually, I really do not like this.
What an awful album. I skipped multiple songs. This a knock off of Leonard Cohen singing bad songs but somehow worse. Bill Callahan is not only a bad head football coach, he is a bad singer.
Boring and forgettable.
I didn’t get this at all. Americana singer songwriter album with extremely monotone vocals that are almost talked instead of sung. The album is also very one note with very little variety. The lyrics are supposed to be poetic but I didn’t think they were anything to write home about.
