I like John Darnielle, i really do. But at this point, the mountain goats have just gotten so redundant. The world does not need 100 MG albums.
However, the world definitely needs more Extra Glenns albums. So John, give Franklin Bruno a call and start hooking that up. It's not like he's done anything significant lately.
The Mountain Goats: "Tallahassee"
The Mountain Goats: "The Sunset Tree"
what? why would the world not need 100 mg records?
the world needs 200 mg records.
they are continue to be amazing and among the songs being written.
check out archive.org for some goats shows with franklin bruno last fall.
peace

You do realize that those two mountain goats albums you've posted are more relatable to the Extra Glenns than previous MG albums?
The only difference is that more people are joining in and Franklin Bruno's not doing any of the songwriting.
John's pre-1996 work is where it's at.
