Unfortunately, this was also their swan song, since they broke up a little while after. The production work is astounding, featuring the array of instrumentation seamlessly blending together, the harmonies are top-notch here, and the production work is an even bigger step up, since they worked with with Sad Robot Records (Bridwell temporarily shut down Brown Records). Each song is dripping with mourning and loss, and they weigh heavy on the listener, curled up in the fetal position. This is easily one of my favourite albums ever, their most highly regarded, and overall the soundtrack to sadness. The follow-up to this was their seminal album Songs About Leaving. This is an absolutely amazing with some stunning standout songs ('All Apologies And Smiles, Yours Truly, Ugly Valentine', The Color That Your Eyes Changed With The Color Of Your Hair', 'Brooke Daniels' Tiny Broken Finger', 'The Part About The Vine Thats Growing Through The Window And Reaching Towards My Bed').
