Beyond a doubt, this is the BEST album experience I have ever had. From beginning to end, the powerful text and musical setting never fail to evoke an intense response. This is how I discovered La Dispute, and it's why they're my favorite band of all time.
Great concept, great music, great lyrics, and the beginning of a transition in style and formal structure which bridges between the vastly different Wildlife and Panorama albums. It's not my favorite album, but it has some of my favorite songs.
With fantastic sound design and the typical lyrical excellence I expect from La Dispute, this album explores grief and anxiety in ways which strongly resonate with some of my own thoughts and experiences. There is so much good music here. Though I stand by my favorite song choice based purely on quality, There You Are (Hiding Place) struck the strongest chord with me.
