I like the first album quite a bit. The second one sounds pretty much exactly the same. I was not into the back-porchiness of Howl, and lost interest after that. I didn't know they had another album out. I got to open for them twice after the first album came out; they were nice guys and they were very good live at the time. I'm still not sure why a standar rock trio setup required a two and a half hour sound check, but they did put on a fine show. I always thought they got more than their fair share of shit-talk, considering that a lot of their music is actually good.
