Boys and Girls in America is excellent, I feel like I've missed out by not listening to this lot before. First of all there is clearly a hell of a lot of Springsteen influence in here, which isn't a bad start, and the vocal delivery being almost spoken-word throughout but not in a way that detracts from the storytelling or the music manages to work, but the song compositions are what grab me, they're so well crafted, they accentuate the story, they're full of emotion and hooks and light and shade and all of that. Same Kooks and First Night are both great early on then it closes with a terrific five-song run of Citrus/Chill out Tent/South Town Girls/Girls Like Status/Arms and Hearts that I'm already playing back for a second run. Has a real epic heartland sound to it and I'll have some of that every day of the week, it's a very high 4 that I might end up giving a 5 to when push comes to shove, maybe only missing out because of the standard of 5s from the actual project being GOAT albums.
