After spending the week listening to "Mountain Battles" on repeat - I was in Dayton, OH after all, so it only seemed fitting - any uncertainty about it's brilliance has totally disappeared. Kim Deal has, once again, made a masterpiece. Bravo.
Of course, if you asked me to rank it in terms of the other albums, I'd never be able to do it. They're all five star, absolutely essential listens. So there.
For the second time in recent memory, the tracklisting of an album I downloaded was in a different running order than the physical release (the first one was "X Marks Destination"). Can I just say that the physical product has it right and that the album clicked for me once I heard it that way? Grr.
