#7 of 2008: Okkervil River - The Stand Ins


Thirty-Two Words: Sequels are rarely as good as the original work. However, like The Empire Strikes Back, The Stand Ins is as well-crafted (if not better) an effort as last year's The Stage Names.

The Moment of Truth: Watching my mom dance with Lucia to this album, Lucia stopped her fussing and turned her head slightly toward the stereo.

Killer to Filler Ratio:
8:3
