i've seen it described that way quite a lot, though i can only agree with strangely. i'm less sure certain about how happy or optimistic it is.

Hoping the LP arrived at home today, as I've been holding off on listening to leaks of this. I heard "Ride My Arrow" is the best of the bunch--confirm/deny?

Me too; I've gotten a couple of posters from them, it's always a nice surprise. I just spun the record for the first time (playing Side A twice) and it's glorious.

I'm pumped this thread is getting so much traffic and that Bill's new album is getting so much press. He's going on a pretty extrensive tour starting next week, so there's really not much of an excuse not to go see him!
