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.

yeah I just mean the music in some of the first songs is a bit more upbeat/happy-sounding that what I expected

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.

The only words I've said today are "beer" and "thank you"

Beer

Thank you

Thank you

Really good, quiet and moody album...I love his voice.

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!
