IMO their best album

The Avetts are truly stunning songwriters and this album is a perfect introduction to their musical world. (Favs: I and Love and You, January Wedding, Head Full of Doubt, Kick Drum Heart, Laundry Room)

I've listened to this cd dozens of times and never grow tired of it. They have a nice country/folk way about them.

The Avett Brothers really are brothers and that they are still speaking and working together after more than a decade (unlike, say, the Gallaghers) is a good thing. I can’t quite find the words to say why, but it seems to speak well of them as people and hence their music. Is this reading too much into things? Perhaps. Regardless. Powerful songs here, some serious songwriting. Great hooks. Lots and lots of piano. Some acoustic stompers courtesy of “Slight Figure of Speech” and “Kick Drum Heart”. Elsewhere we are treated to oblique folk-pop majesty (the title track and “Laundry Room”). “I just saw a shooting star,” they sing. Me too.
