I love the mountain goats and been enjoying new albums for about 10 years now. Always good, always different.
- Great album

This album is great. While focusing on a single subject, Darnielle and the Mountain Goats cover a wide range of emotions and feelings, from innocent childhood heroism (Chavo Guererro) to senseless loss (Stabbed to Death), tempered with a mix of songs that are as varied as a violent adrenaline rush (Werewolf) or a simple life with a comfortable end (Bull Ramos).
- The best tMG album since The Sunset Tree

This album is incredible. It's extremely upbeat and has a hint of melancholy at some points, as with most Mountain Goats albums. It's a perfect concept album.
- Amazing

I'm prematurely in love with this album. It feels a little wrong to rate before the rest comes out, but I'm just so gosh darn excited! Love you John. :D
