This album is very good, but sounds pretty different from his prior work, which has a lot more guitars and is less danceable.  You don't need to hear he prior work to appreciate this, but all three of his prior albums are worth a listen.

I cannot listen to this album loud enough.

This show is so funny. I love Rosewood's one restaurant, as well as the lack of age-appropriate women for the local teachers and doctors to pursue. I love Rosewood's shitty police department, changeable weather, and high murder rate.

Kelly Cutrone is awful,but her weather vane comment had me rolling with laughter. She occasionally has good insight, but most of the time she is so biased I don't want to hear anything that come out of her mouth.  It was refreshing to see Nigel try to counter her.

I hated her awful Rihanna knock-off haircut, and anyone who took a picture as awful as the one where she was a tulip shouldn't be allowed to win anything.  She only won because she had gone to one of Tyra's camps.

This challenge harkened back to cycles of yesteryear, which was kind of refreshing, but all the pictures were ultimately uninteresting.  I am excited that the next challenge involves heights, another favorite trope of bygone ANTM cycles.

This show is so wonderfully ridiculous.  The music video challenge will provide me with endless amusement.  The highlight of this week's episode was getting to see Kyle's cringe-inducing clip after she was eliminated.

Well that was stupid

Thank you for bringing her in :)

I'm the same way, and LC! and Hold Steady are my favorites as well.  God, I can't wait for Craig Finn's solo record.

I like their older stuff where the music is poppy and bright, but the lyrics are sad and dark.  I guess they can do both things sad and dark, but it only works for those in the mood to mope with them.  The album has grown on me, but still not as good as their previous stuff.
