“John Darnielle and co. revisit the 1990s, Layne Staley, and Charlie Sheen on a collection of songs that explore the rigid nature of time and our power to reframe the past.”
“Exploring a motley array of grunge-era characters, the latest Mountain Goats album is very polished and very funny, as the band’s performances convey the same nuance and range as John Darnielle’s writing.”
