It was a bit of a dissapointment to me as I didn’t like it nearly as much as their earlier records. The only memorable songs to me were “Why I Am” ,released as a single,”Seven”,and “You & Me” another single. I saw them play in 2010 when they closed out the Bonnoaroo Festival I went to. “Why I Am” was the first song they played.

They came on right after dark and I remember what seemed like hundreds but were atually only about thirty of forty of those lanterns with the small candle in them that make hem float.
