Band of Horses - Infinite Arms

I am so sad. I am heartbroken. Heartbroken in only the way a beautiful woman named Band of Horses can break hearts. I had very high hopes for this album. Everything All The Time had power in sounds like Our Swords and The Funeral and it had heart with I Goto The Barn, Monsters and St. Augustine. Cease To Begin has thick blood with songs like Ode to LRC and Cigarettes, Wedding Bands and moved me to the soul with Detlef Schrempf and Marry Song. Both albums were beautiful and powerful. Then Infinite Arms. It had so much potential. Every song sounded like the last, with a slight pick up toward the end but nothing to inspire me to remember the titles. I am so sad. SO sad. I can't even express my disappointment.

You owe me one Ben. I didn't just download Infinite Arms, I bought it. You owe me big. I wanted you to melt my heart, not break it.

Edit:

This album got better after a few listens. While it isn't what was expecting, it isn't bad. I just wanted to tell Ben he doesn't owe me anything. Unless he wants to get me ticket to a NJ or NY show.
