    @DackAttac I'm pretty sure Enlightened Eyes guy is Charlemagne, and this album is mostly about Charlemagne (and his relationship with Sapphire) after he escapes the Twin Cities with Holly and Gideon thinking he's dead.

    Least good Hold Steady album, most good Hold Steady album art.

    Love this album, but as far as getting my head around the players and the plays of the plot, I can't quite get a handle on it. I know Sapphire has visions, I know the "new girl" tried to stop Butterfly Knife dude from killing Enlightened Eyes guy, but testified for him on the stand. But as far as everything else, I'm at a loss.

    the album of 2008

    (you'll notice how, with only two blips, the number of plays per track decreases from the start of the album to the end)

    The last song on any album almost always has the fewest plays.

    Slapped Actress with the least amount of plays? To me it's among the three best songs on the album with Constructive Summer and Lord, I'm discouraged being the other two.

    I love it

    it is a bit of a pain having to split the bonus tracks into 3 separate mp3s, not hard tho and you can do it in ten minutes with any basic recording program. as for the album tho it's awesome, i've been listening to all 4 hold steady albums a lot this week and i still can't decide which is my favourite.

    This album just gets better the more you listen to it! For me it stands out as one of the best albums of 2008 so far. Impressive!

    3 bonus B-sides! - Track 12 - 11.29 - 'Untitled' ....riiiight! Good album on the first few listens. Still think that the first two are the best two though!

    Awesome record.

    I love this album. My only complaint is that the bonus tracks are all in the same track.

    Listening to this album makes it hard not to Stay Positive.

    One of the top 5 albums of 2008, without a doubt.
