my wife dislikes War On Drugs too. she says the guy's voice reminds her too much of Widespread Panic, and just ruins it for her.

I did the same based on the opinions of people I generally agree with, when it comes to music. Maybe I need to give them a chance? The first time through Lost In The Dream did very little for me. Felt like the safest, most milquetoast approach to a record I've heard in a while. There were a few moments here and there, but nothing that made me wanna listen again. I'll give the new one a spin, but I was surprised when I listened to this, you guys.

Yeah, I found nothing to differentiate it from all the other reverb-drenched folk/pop-rock I've heard over the last several years. If you had told me this was a record by Ariel Pink, or The National, or any of the other bands I don't seem to get, I'd believe you.

I agree about the singers, I just meant that the songwriting and production bores the shit out of me.
