"Tears of the Valedictorian" is Frog Eyes' best effort to date. Years of touring and recording have caused the band to become tighter as a whole, and the addition of Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade on keyboards fills out the sound expansively. Also, additional years of playing have benefited the drummer immensely, who only began playing shortly before Frog Eyes was conceived. Tracks such as "Bushels," "Reform Your Countryside" and "Evil Energy, the Ill Twin Of . . ." are undoubtedly among the greatest Frog Eyes' tracks to date.

I am a big fan of the frog eyes. This album is good. More refined, more mature. More emphasis on the playing, less on the voice. He doesn't quite sound like the raging madman he was on folded palms. Honestly I wish he did, but the playing is so good, it makes up for it. Probably more accessible than before to newcomers. Still awesome.
