^ what's that?!
I finally sat down with the lyrics last night. I do not recommend doing that. I get the sense that even including the lyrics is Kozelek trolling. There's so many spelling mistakes and things missing that I'm betting he got wasted one night and just sat there typing it all out, grinning at his own (perceived) goodness. Lyrically, much of it is utter crap, the whole 'I did this and then I did this' is really played out now. But there are some great moments. A Song of Shadows is quite nice, Father's Day has its moments, as does Sally.
The last three songs are the highlight of the album and make it worth sitting through. America's Most Wanted is great, and his reading of the fan letter amidst the synths is lovely, like iYup attested to above. Exodus, jesus fucking christ, that is brutal. One of the saddest songs you will ever hear. Which is then followed by Beautiful You, which is lovely and warm.
