I hope one day to write an album review that is as utterly devastating and completely accurate as this one. Moe Lane has a brilliant excerpt but I think the sharpest part of the blade is in this bit before the section Moe quoted. The arrangements, though, are jarringly slick, with sleigh bells and gossamer strings [...]
