Great follow up album to Trying to Never Catch Up. I'm still amazed that these guys go unnoticed by so many. Great album from start to finish with the exception of Middle of the Night which I wasn't fond of. Sultan, Cheap Wine, Prevailing Wind, and The Other Side all have the makings of huge hits.

I first caught this band on ACL what seems like ages ago. It has been a done deal from that day. Their debut album was one of my top albums of the decade and their sophomore follow up (a long time over-due) is as powerful as their first. If you judge bands by their albums, and not by their singles or radio play then this band will not let you down. Indie rock through and through with sprinkles of influences from such bands as the Beatles, Spoon, and Jeff Buckley are apparent. Kincaid's vox are spot on and the band as a whole have improved their cohesiveness...buy it!

I actually previously owned this album, and it's been misplaced. I was craving it, and had to pick it up again. I cannot stop listening to it!!

I'm not a professional music critic in any capacity, but rather simply a big fan of WMMF. As said fan, I had very high expectations for the new album and WMMF did not disappoint. "Cheap Wine" is a favorite track for me and my friends that were not previously familiar with WMMF also seem drawn to this song. Michael Kingcaid's self-proclaimed favorite, "Self-Destruct" became a lot more powerful for me after seeing it preformed live. The only track that I don't connect with for some reason is, "To Each His Own," but the guys seem to be performing it live with some frequency, so it is probably just me.

Again, I don't know much about music beyond knowing what makes me want to crank up the volume and belt out lyrics in the car, but if you already loved WMMF, I think you will be very happy with "What Doesn't Kill Us." Enjoy!
