3 stars So far, collab ratings for this are as following: 2x2, 2x3, 2x4. I'll add 1x3 but still, something is raising it higher - members are (as usual), with their 4-star average rating. What's the point of saying this ? Try to guess. If you won't find it out, just leave it be as "nonsense" (heh).

Music here is quite strange folk. It's not folk I'm used to listen (indie folk anybody?), it's a pleasant one, as it was my first venture to TD territory and I was surprised how "different" it is from what I expected to be prog. Colin Meloy's vocals are pleasant (they are, it's their biggest advantage, even he's not as gifted singer as some others in rock music, even he can do wonders with it).

3(+), but I hesitate between this and 4(-), because it's weird case. I probably can enjoy this album and "probably" (yes, I don't know) like it, but I'm not sure. It would be better to give lower and hope that next ones will sound better. I don't like myself for doing this, as I would like to give them more, but I can't. The sound here is really (as Epignosis said), demo-like. Maybe I'm too influenced by polished Hazards (but note that even they're not exactly clean)
