I was so enamored of Okkervil River's last two albums, 2007's The Stage Names and its companion record The Stand Ins, which came out the following year, that I decided to buy this record from their back-catalog without ever hearing a single track. It's a good record, with strong hints of what will be coming (notably the track "Black" -- the album's high point), but it's clear from listening to this record that the best from this band is yet to come.
Rating: B
