I listened to it twice through. I don't like it as much as I like "Up From Below" which has turned into one of my favorite albums over the last few years.

My favorite songs on Here are:
Man on Fire
That's What's Up
I Don't Wanna Pray
Fiya Wata

I don't think any songs on it are as good as 40 Day Dream, Janglin, Up from Below or Home from Up from Below.

This album is more folksy than their previous one. None of the songs really give the impression of how many instruments are actually played on the track and the songs seem simpler.
I am not a musician expert as far as sound/mixing goes when making an album but it sounds like the production and mixing of it were dumbed down or done cheaply, to not get the full array of sound that you get from their live show.

I saw them at Hangout Fest and was pretty blown away by their live performance.

Edward was fuuuuckkeedddd upp. I liked his mistress he kept chasing around the stage though. And, also, when he fell. Entertainment in its purest form.
