Never got into these guys, finding them wildly overrated. But if you can step outside the hype there's a rich, casual classic-rock ride here, and one that's more Neil Young than Grateful Dead. Few of the melodies will grab your ear on first listen, but it's all awfully damned agreeable, and has a way of wearing paths down your back.
One complaint though: did Jim James swallow a tiny computer? Cause that reverb is non-fucking-stop, he's like a one-man band. The whole thing is generally awfully smothered in blankets, but it's just heavy enough, just hooky enough to stab its way on through 4/5
