Was just coming here to post the Spotify link! I can’t wait to dive into this album more and give it the attention it deserves. Based on the interviews Jason has given thus far he went into this one feeling more anxious than he ever has and it really seemed to have an impact on both him and Amanda.

Predicted to have 24-26k pure sales and 27-30k SPS this week. #14 overall.
Additionally, this debutted with 7.1k pure sales this week due to sales from small record stores.

Like most of Jason’s albums I usually want to spend a little extra time with each song and let all the lyrics sink in, and as such this one is no different. That said, I do seem to be favoring the first half of the album over the other as Jason tends to lose me a bit as he transitions into “River” and then “Be Afraid” which I’m still not as much of a fan of at this point. I don’t quite foresee this being my favorite release of his, but there are still so many great songs here that I know I’ll be revisiting for years to come.

Here are my top 5 favorites so far in a bit of random order for now:

1) Only Children
2) What’ve I Done to Help
3) Overseas
4) Dreamsicle
5) St. Peter’s Autograph

I bought it at a small, local record store.

On first listen, "Be Afraid" and "Running With Our Eyes Closed" are my favorites, but the whole album is good.
