Vierde album was in 2002 hun doorbraak naar het grotere publiek. Pitchfork: This record will happily provide you with plenty of opportunities to be unsurprised-- vocally, thematically, and in some cases musically. Thankfully, it's all dramatically counterbalanced by some of the most unique arrangements Oberst has dreamt up yet. Drowned In Sound: Many consider him to be the front-runner of a generation looking for its Bob Dylan. He has a tendency to be long-winded, and his messages may come off as pretentious, but as long as this conductor is still suffering his choir of drunken angels will sing.
