So much, much better than what I remembered. Features PJ, Nina Persson, Tom Waits, Grandaddy and a couple of other guest spots. The songs are both melodic yet intricate, but in the end Mark Linkous ends up suffering from the 'one man band' syndrome, where is seems like ego/creative ambition prevails over a fuller more solid sound (see Eeels). Still, I think it's as good as a Sparklehorse album can get.
