#1173 The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream

Endless chugging, krauty washes of sound with affable, understated Springsteenian crooning over the top, with big emotional surges like those found in dreams, lurching toward nothings that pulse away at the barest glance. The whole thing bleeds together, beating with Broken Social Scene horn buzzes and guitar wobble, barely an album so much as a sound that goes on and on. There's a lot of albums that do that on accident, but this one does it on purpose, and damn it it works, lulling you until you loll along with a dim, sleepy half-smile 4/5

Edit: wow. Did not even notice that that was the title of the album when I wrote that. Aptly named, then.
