Standout Tracks: The Sandman, The Brakeman And Me / Say Please / Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)


A great record, which should be expected, from some of my folk favorites. However, though great, I am slightly torn because most of these just sound like they could just be taken from a solo record. Granted you can hear collaboration, but I feel like their should be little more. For example, "The Sandman, The Brakeman And Me," sounds like an amazing M. Ward song. I also feel the urge to mention that I really dislike this album art, but oh well. Monsters Of Folk is out today via Shangri-La.


* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.
