Today I picked up Heretic Pride, the latest offering from the Mountain Goats. And I have to say that I needed this. I wouldn't dream of trying to review John Darnielle's songwriting; I listen to it because it reviews me. There will be more writing about this album as I absorb it, but one thought occurs on the first spin:
Jon Wurster flippin' gets it. I love these drums. It's kind of like the stuff he did on the Superchunk song “So Convinced”: urgent, tricky, steady. I want him to be in this band forever.
