FUNERAL MARIACHI rules. Have listened to it 3 times since this morning. It's their quitest and most restrained effort, but from top-to-bottom, it might actually be their absolute best. If you're looking for the manic energy and insanity of most of their releases, you won't really find it here. Instead, they've decided to just craft a handful of really wonderful songs, with all sorts of neat production tricks. The use of the organ and some keys is very striking, even when it's used in somewhat minimal ways. Just a really beautiful album; depressing as hell and awesome.
