Yeah but don't start with this CD. I dunno. Huge directional change on this album. Much more acoustic/folk-centric. It's a little Neutral Milk Hotel-ish in places. It's not a bad thing, it's just not what I've come to expect. But it's a pretty drastic departure.

Again, it's not bad, but I guess it's a little how I felt about Cursive's last album: sure, it was released under the Cursive moniker, but it felt like a Good Life CD - same thing here. It's by "mewithoutYou" but it really feels more like "mewithoutYou's acousticky, folk-style sing-a-long".

Observe the difference:

"January 1979", Catch For Us the Foxes (2001)


"Every Thought A Thought of You", It's All Crazy!... (2009)


Yeah.
