Any thoughts on Strange To Explain? I haven't heard it yet, I was stupidly waiting for the physical copy I pre-ordered to show up before I played it, but since I'm entering week 4 since it was shipped I might have to just go ahead and stream it anyway.

it's good but not as proggy as the last one. few if any obvious reflections on purple mountains

They were not on my radar at all pre-Purple Mountains (name too boring to care) so Strange to Explain is the first thing I've heard from them. I liked a couple of the singles but the album is yet to fully connect with me.

I pitched it to my dad as existing somewhere on a continuum from Todd Rundgren to The Shins... am I crazy? lol

Still waiting for my copy to show up, USPS is really shitting the bed on some deliveries lately. Really curious myself to hear where they are heading these days (yes I know I can just stream it, but I'm silly and old-fashioned about albums by bands I really like that I've pre-ordered).

Bit underwhelmed by Strange to Explain sadly cos I loooove City Sun etc

Finally getting a chance to spin this after the nine week journey for my copy to get to me from Long Island, I like it. It's definitely not as good as With Light and Love or City Sun, but I think it's a step back in the right direction after Love is Love.

Reflections, Vol. 1 is stunning if you already love Woods

this band puts out consistently good stuff

they do

found a copy of Love is Love in the clearance bin at a record store, they deserve better (but was happy to pick it up for $8.99!)

they are astonishing live
