3.8 - I tried a few times to listen closely but I always found my mind wandering. So, for me it's pleasant background music. Still, as far as folk rock goes, the chord progressions are relatively complex. And I like the vocals, especially Linda's contributions. "The Great Valerio" ends the album on a gorgeously haunting note - perhaps the lone track that demands attention. Other standouts: "When I Get To The Border", "Withered and Died" and the title track.
