More like a "boxer" in the very first moment a crystal clear singer / songwriter album when these two fabulous musicians Brothers pairs Dessner and Devendorf would not know how to emphasize the baritone of singer Matt Berninger masterfully with their game. Absolute goose bumps generating as the intro to Squalor Victoria, with its strings, the driving drums and the later onset piano. The multi-instrumentalist created for each song its own, characteristic sound carpet, a noble Persian, of course, on the chief lyricist Berninger can relax and feel secure stride along with his often more than gebrummten sung everyday stories. And we listen to titles like Apartment Story, Mistaken For Strangers and Fake Empire and know that this is an album for the ages with songs for eternity.
Meanwhile, there is also the predecessor "Alligator" in my possession, and I am glad that there is a similar high quality album that I will love safe very quickly like this.
