So I'm still killing this Broken Bells record. Yeah I'm a year late, but come on, I think 35 makes me eligible for the "Old Man Exemption."
Right now, "The Mall & Misery" is probably my favorite on the album. It feels very Arcade Fire. Depending on your taste, that will be a reason to love it or hate it. I think my feelings are quite clear.
