This line from Consequence of Sound's review of Among The Leaves does a great job of encapsulating the album in one sentence:

"With Among the Leaves, Kozelek trades being disillusioned with the world in for being disillusioned with being disillusioned with the world."


Bobbo - I'm just realizing now that it was you (and not SAINT) who thought the new record was a close second to 'Ghosts'. As much as I like 'Ghosts', the new record just keeps drawing me back in, mostly for the melodies/lyrics. His playing is exceptional as well - 'the old guy that plays good guitar". I agree with the reviewer as I, too, find myself laughing out loud at several lines on this record. I'm surprised at how much I like this record.


yeah, don't get me wrong - i really do like this record. but for me, ghosts is damn near unapproachable.

It's impossible to not draw whatever Kozelek does up to the nearly perfect Ghosts'.
