I'll stick with my "as good as their debut" comment. I think Mayberry sounds better on this album and the choruses and song structures are better. But I generally liked the music better in the debut. This album has a stripped down, yet "poppier" feel to it. I think there are a few surprises. I wasn't really expecting songs like Down Side of Me and Afterglow, but both are fantastic.

Tracks 2 and 5 really stuck out for me. I listened in the car so I wasn't following along with song names.

Track 5 is the album highlight. I just can't get enough.

Of the songs I hadn't heard, Keep You On My Side is an early favourite.

This is def as good as the first. No big tune like "The Mother We Share" but only one track with the guy singing, so fair trade.

I'm goin with Never Ending Circles as the top track.

No. Follow You is a bonus track. The album actually ends with Afterglow.

This is pretty cool. Lauren interviewed by S-K's Corin Tucker.

I like Bury It. Its pretty much a Tegan and Sara song.
