The spin top ten worst albums of all time ever included this band years and years ago. I decided, I will listen to them to see what they were talking about. After hearing the album in full I decided I fucking hated spin and never wanted to read let alone buy one ever ever ever again.
I fucking love owls. Probably the best band Tim Kinsella has ever done

This is one of my all time favourite records. The absolute highlight for all four musicians. One of the best recordings Steve has done too. I constantly use it as an example of how an album should sound. In particular Victor's guitar playing on this record is stellar. Mike Kinsella's drums never sounded so good either. Great stuff.
Sometimes it's hard to sell people on this album because it is basically a reunion of Cap'n Jazz by another name but literally everyone who hears it blind enjoys it.

Yeah agreed on everything you said.
This album just amazes me in all aspects.
This is the best works for sure by any members to date.
The drums and guitar when I first listened to it, I just kept saying, it's backwords. They sound like they are playing backwords.
My friend wrote tim kinsella and told him what his favorite lyrics were. In part of his email he stated he lives off weed and spaghetti.
My first album I ever bought on vinyl. I opened it and it was orange and I was blown away. I didn't know at the time anything about vinyl.
The album cover? wtf is that shit? I read/heard that it was a jarbled montage of what each member thought of the band in pictures.

I think Make Believe is (was?) a decent enough continuation of this sound. Sam Zurick and Nate Kinsella are both amazing in a subtly different way. After Mike left Owls he was replaced by the great Ryan Rapsys, who now has a band called Website with Sam Zurick. I'm betting that will also be good.
I keep hoping that Victor will produce something. I heard that he is off the junk now (and has been for a couple of years at least) so maybe we'll hear something from him eventually. The Noyes EP he did with Ryan was great, I'd love more in that direction.

Good band. I thought some of the guitar playing was pretty awesome and fresh sounding.

Perfect album from start to finish. Real shame they only recorded ten songs.
