    John Darnielle's first full length release as the ineffable Mountain Goats is a sprawling (although short) 19 song foray into independent lo-fi simplicity. As such, it may be predicted to be awfully hit-or-miss, however, I found it to be quite a solid album, and one that would rank higher among my favorite Mountain Goats albums, if they weren't all so great. Far from a skippable early debut experiment, I call it essential for all fans of Darnielle's work, and an interesting beginning of one of the greatest bands (artists) of our time (in my opinion.) Now, into the fire you go!

    After his first 3 cassette only albums, The Mountain Goat's released Zopilote Machine, one of John Darnielle's better lo-fi albums. There are some slow moments, but sone songs are just too brilliant for words: Alpha Sun Hat, Standard Bitter Love Songs, and Orange Ball of Love/Hate. And oh yeah, then there is the greatest song of all time, Going to Georgia. Going to Gerogia alone is worth the price of this album. The lyrics are so good, as on any Mountain Goats song, but it has my all time favorite line: "The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you, and that you're standing in the doorway." Just buy this album.

    Possibly an acquired taste, with its unpolished recording style, this is an album that really grows on you. The lyrics are brilliant.
