A Week With The Mountain Goats' "Heretic Pride": Day 4

29 February 08

I’ve made no small case for the monsters in Heretic Pride. And they shouldn’t be ignored. However, they are not huge colossi, lumbering across the album’s landscape; often they come into view only on repeated listens, like shapes in the...
