Their first album is so good...what happened? Why is there a weird deep-voiced guy singing on the second song? Why is a 10-song album padded out to 18 tracks with a bunch of untitled "link tracks?"

In all fairness, this is a fine and "mature" album from the scrappy bunch of ruffians who made their brilliant, shimmering debut. It sounds more like it should be their 7th album, though, than their second.

Like the first release from The Gerbils, "Are You Sleepy?", this album is incredible. Will Westbrook's guitar playing is genius. Scott Spillane's voice is wonderfully matched to the silly, happy lyrics. If you like other Elephant Six bands, you will absolutely love the Gerbils.

Don't expect it to top the grandeur of the first one. You didn't think it was possible did you? THe first is much better; however, this too is an album that massages your brain with the brilliant fingers of beautiful music. His voice is just so soulful and heart-wrenched it makes me want to cry because its what I feel inside. It goes nicely through the whole album after you listen to it a couple times. It gets better as you listen to it.
