When I saw Dr. Dog 4 years ago in Eugene, I stayed in the bar and didn’t come out until Autolux and Ambulance Ltd. were playing. Then I heard “The Old Days” on Sirius and I couldn’t figure out if they had gotten amazingly awesome since then or if I was a tasteless piece of shit back then.

Dr. Dog is the TITS! I saw them open up for The National and CYHSY on NYE and they blew the panites off those two more “well-known” bands!

This album is what music should be. Dr. Dog hits the perfect musical notes 96% of the time. Some is good, but too poppy, the rest is heartfelt, brilliant music! I was explaining to a friend the other night that I love music, but something about The Dog is ridiculous. They play the songs I wish I could write or listen to more often. Definately, obviously, reccomend this, and other Dog disks. Their lyrics range from simple and right on, to off beat and black comedy-ish. Their musical production is layered and catchy (in a good way). Anyhow, check it out. Like a fine wine, always better with time, but multiple listens required, over time, to fully become engulfed in the timeless music being created by Dr. Dog.

One of the best albums I’ve heard so far this year. Quite a leap from the scratchy first LP.

I came in at this record, haven’t heard anything else (except a live track on a Paste magazine sampler, which was pretty forgettable), but it’s in my top few albums so far this year. I think it’s beautifully written and arranged and sounds dang purty, to boot.

Great album! They just got better at what they were doing on the last album. Can’t wait to see them again, and I’ll be wearing out this album.

I know it’s rather premature, but as of now, this is my favorite record of theirs. It has such a summer tinge to it.

Can’t get enough.

I like it a bunch. I think it is on par with their last album we all belong. You are right though, it grows with each listen.

Album of the year for me as well.

I adore the train theme that runs through the record. And the last tune (‘My Friend’), wherein they play snippets of every song in running order, just kills me. It reminds me of the last half of Side 2 of Abbey Road. (Note: *Reminds* me. It doesn’t compare, of course. You can’t compare anything to that majesty.)
