"Very easy very pleasant listen. Me and my wife are really into this band. We both like each others music but sometimes there's bands like this that we really love together. Great stuff even for being their most chill album."  Reply

And there's plenty of vocabulary, if that's your thing. In addition to big words you already know (obverse, condescend, misbegotten) there's also..."  [More]  Reply
