Am I the only one who can't stand John Darnielle's voice or his lyrics?
The music's pretty good, though.

I myself am a fan, but there isn't a single thing around here anyone can agree on so you probably aren't alone.

I think it is generally accepted that there aren't enough dinosaurs in the lyrics.

i guess voices are personal preference, but i think JD's is more than adequate and a great pair with the music. but anyone that can write a "no children" - maybe the most scathing lyrics re: a doomed relationship ever, is bloody brilliant in my book

Considering the xx just placed 7th on Pazz and Jop, I don't think ILX has any special claim to them.

in the past rangers had tried "hazing" the ram - inducing it to be frightened of people - by shooting it with bean bags and throwing rocks.[. . .]After goring the hiker the goat stood over him, and had to be pelted with rocks by a ranger before finally moving away.
