if i were to had come up with a top 50 of the decade list, i know for damn sure the mountain goats would have had at least 3 records taking up some space, most notably heretic pride, tallahassee and the sunset tree. i am still questioning my reasoning for leaving at least tallahassee out of the top 30. what is done is done, i suppose? anyway, mr darnielle and company have a new record coming out on 10.6 on 4ad called the life of the world to come. the record is religious in nature, but not a getting up on a soap box and damning us all hell, but more dealing with biblical imagery and themes of the like.
