Ditto.  You have to see them live to really get it.

I didn't think I would like this album, but I love it. I sure would love to go to Bonnaroo.

I love these guys!!  cannot wait until Spring 2011 when they play at the North Carolina Azalea Festival in my adopted hometown.  I never knew they used to perform a lot around here before they were "discovered".  it's nice to see a band remember its roots.

Al Yankovic switching tunes a whole lot of times without breaking stride is kinda neat, but hearing the Avett Brothers break into punk without blinking is way cooler.

BONNAROO!!!!  The Saturday Avett set on the Which Stage was excellent.

After a month of listening, I think this may be the best song on the album.

8 —> 9. Lyrics hit so close to home, presentation is melancholy yet hopeful. Wonderful.

I like this band but not their new stuff. I think their early raw stuff was so much better.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought. These are some of the best lyrics I've heard/read in a long time. Directly to the point, yet they lead to other places too.

Interesting.  Not sure I really like it yet.  But definitely worth cocking an ear.

Well said. I'm not yet hearing anything new, different, better or smarter than the other bands and musicians I am already familiar with in this genre. I'll get a chance to figure it out, as this band seems to be getting a large share of airtime.

This album (from the few songs I've heard so far).... SO DIFFERENT from their other stuff...{#Eek}
I think it's great and definitely more polished than earlier... but I'm more partial to the less polished earlier sound.  I think they are growing into something here... not quite there yet but getting there for sure.  Looking forward to watching/hearing them continue to evolve...

I'm a big country music fan, and I don't really hear any "country twang" here.

I saw The Avett Brothers at The Fillmore in SF, amazing show. I didn't think these guys would be as good as they were and was blown away from their lyrics to how tightly they played. Thanks to RP for playing them!

Cool, .. I just heard them on RP too, researched the band, downloaded a few songs, loved them all, went to the store and purchased the CD.

there's just something... right about the Avett Brothers for me... I really can't put my finger on it at all, but they just strike me in a good way...

The fine singing and piano playing provokes a positive reaction in this listener. The preceding bland endorsement was brought to you by the makers of oatmeal....oatmeal, it makes a good breakfast cereal.  {#Shifty}
