while not my favorite kevin record (make the clocks move holds my heart), this is a phenomenal record that shouldn't be passed by. it is a very stong major label debut and it's a shame that it isn't getting the praise & recognition it deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never Gets Old, February 11, 2009

Kevin Devine is constantly getting played in my dorm room. Put Your Ghost to Rest was my first of his albums, and it holds a special place in my heart because of it.

He definitely turns down the screaming in favor of a lighter tone, which means a few more folky songs. But his lyrics never falter, and I'd argue that they hold more thought and warrant more consideration than his previous releases. He's got a very informal perspective on things, which allows him to be more visual throughout the album. Songs like "Billion Bees" and "Just Stay" are vivid descriptions of his life, while "The Burning City Smoking" and "Go Haunt Someone Else" will just plain get you thinking. Kevin writes honestly and personally. Not to mention the tunes are catchy.

You really cannot go wrong with this album.

it sounds like he just stopped trying to me. he used to be more subtle and complex, now he's just a mediocre coffeehouse folk troubadour. his voice doesn't even have any character anymore, he more speaks than sings. it's not like he experimented in any new directions, he just gradually lost everything that made him not bland.
