Album Notes & Community Reviews

This monumental double album stands as the 100th studio release from prolific songwriter Robert Pollard when factoring in his numerous side projects and solo works. It is notable for being the first band record where all members contribute individual songwriting credits and lead vocals alongside Pollard. The expansive 32-track listing retains the band's traditional lo-fi ethic while demonstrating a collaborative creative baseline.
