Benji is my first exposure to Kozelek beyond a few of his Modest Mouse covers (of which I wasn't really a fan), but I'm loving it. Some uncomfortable lyrics here and there ("Dogs" is a good example) but I think that might be part of the point--the unfiltered honesty of these songs is really affecting.

How much of the Benji praise is really hype? I mean its a great record, so good to hear WIll Oldham on backup, but Among the Leavesis just as good and touches upon many of the same subjects as Benji does.
much of it. great stories/raw honesty, but it's like reading the same short story/obituary over and over upon further listens...
musically and melodically it just doesn't even touch the highs of April or Ghosts of the Great Highway
don't get me wrong, i think Benji is an amazing piece of art, but for me it doesn't have much replay value.

I just binged purchased a bunch of Mark Kozelek, Sun Kil Moon, Red House Painters stuff a few weeks ago but have not had the time to sit down and absorb it yet. That is my Labor day weekend project.
My buddy's band covers Glenn Tipton and it's wonderful.

Enjoy the journey, friend. Koz is a national treasure.

I only know a handful of songs so I'm excited to say the least.
