Depressing album? Maybe. But it perfectly captures the essence of Michigan. Honestly, the best description of this album is the text on the back of the record sleeve. Great description for great music.
I have to say, this is one of the best albums I own. This album is about transition? I can't think of any other album that could begin to match that descriptor as perfectly as this one does.
This is a beautiful soundtrack perfectly composed for a great movie. From stress (The Red Bull) to joy (Young Lungs), it covers every emotion, and quite well.
