This is a masterful, thoughtful, complex and agonisingly heartfelt love-song to a friend and a mother. This is a collective effort by a group of friends to support each other in the aftermath of the most unimaginably difficult year.
Without a doubt, a record made by the band for the band, but this means everyone else gets to marvel at their craftsmanship and appreciate a new level of composition which, sadly, only comes from tragedy.
This a different, deeper, almost concept-like album that kicks butt and reaffirms the Foos as the only band in town.
