Always a good time when there's a new KV release. Solid album top to bottom; probably my favourite since 'b'lieve I'm goin down'. And just in time for steamy summer afternoons.

High points for me are "99BPM" which sounds like a throwback to his EPs and early albums, "Chance to Bleed" which is what would happen if Tom Petty and Stephen Malkmus collaborated.
