Four stars! When you're striving to be just 'meh' and have done a pretty darn good job. This album exists because we have ears and they have instruments. There's nothing amazing about this and that's the point. The singing sounds like a Calvin Johnson who maybe had a half cup of coffee. It's not inspiring or even particularly enjoyable, it is just meh and for me, this was just right for today. Thank you.
