The Mountain Goats have a new album out

:woohoo:

I just found out about it, and just downloaded it off emusic. Pretty good so far ...

:woohoo:

In celebration, I offer the following:

the video for Sax Rohmer #1, the first single for the new album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd3zjozVSEg

and an early video ("This Year") from The Sunset Tree, which I consider their best album (though this is not the best song on the album): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYCzDhaRV60

1. Even better than Tallahasee?

Which, for my money is the best of the Mountain Goats albums, since it completes the Alpha Cycle, and has "No children" and "alpha Rats nest?"

2. I do like Tallahassee a lot

It's got a lot of great songs, for sure, and "No Children" (which is the song through which I discovered them in the first place) is still probably my favorite individual song from the mountain goats. (And how can you not love an album that has the lyric "Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania" :rofl:)

But it's still my second favorite to The Sunset Tree which I just can't get over :toast:

3. I am really into this new record.

It hasn't pulled ahead of Tallahassee or We Will All Be Healed as my favourite record, though, and it probably won't, but it's still excellent. Thanks for providing the link to the video!
