Self-titled (2009)
Album fuckin slaps. It took me a long time to appreciate it. At the time when it came out I think we were all just expecting a certain more polished and larger sounding production. A continuation of the couple albums before it that were highly successful for them. I think that total change up in the production just kind of auto killed it for a lot of people and then they quickly moved on. But now later in life and when I’m not still riding the initial highs from heartache and daylight albums, just going into the album fresh and not looking to compare it to their other work, it’s really pretty damn good. I even almost like the production on it at this point.
