This review is from: The Sunset Tree [Vinyl] (Vinyl)

So I posted a review of the vinyl version of the Mountain Goats album, Tallahassee, and pretty much it is the same thing here...

...this album can only get better when you listen to it on vinyl. I recently got it and not only is the guitar crisper, the mix just sounds so much clearer.

The album is made up of songs and stories from John's childhood, a lot of them focusing on his abusive step-father. This is nothing but an album of hope and dreams, and bumps along the way.

Although there are songs of anger and resentment, the album ends with a song about spending a day with his step-father, not mean, not judgmental, just a day. It was not bad, and signifying that not all moments are bad, there is hope, and even when people do bad things, there is the capability of love and forgiveness there within us. Sometimes people do bad things because that is all that they know, and sometimes they do not want to do them, but still do from time to time.

One of the best albums of indie rock.
