Bought it last night and am listening for the first time now.

Definitely on his lighter, prettier side. It's nice.

"Nice" is definitely a good word for the album. "Pleasant" too. I do like the female vox quite a bit.

I think this is probably my favorite BPB Album. The fourth track, Curse Sleep, has to be my favorite on the disc so far.

I saw Lambchop on Wednesday in DC. Up against the show. Me and wife talked to Kurt Wagner while he got ready onstage. Really nice guy. DLed off of emusic Damaged and the vinyl is in the mail. Should've just bought it when I saw it at Grimey's while down there, but didn't want to look touristy.
