Great! Dott's Swoon LP from 2013 was really really good.

Shows at the U of M suck. But they're probably getting a decent guarantee to get paid well to play an early show.

Both Minneapolis dates are at a dry campus? This is a problem.

Bands include the tracklist in most press releases to recommend certain songs for airplay, and so reviewers know how many songs there are, also, promo CDs often don't include full packaging, so the press release gives the reviewer a reference.
