iTunes Review

The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn could never have stayed in Minneapolis. His big mouth was destined to get him into trouble. So off to Brooklyn he went with fellow former Lifter Puller guitarist Tad Kubler and established this brutal sextet. Together they marshal AC/DC power riffs to go along Finn’s Mark E. Smith-like storytelling about what Midwestern life meant to him. But where the Fall’s post-punk uses Smith’s rants to increase the alienation rate, Finn offers up tall tales and hard-luck stories about people he can’t stop observing and wishes deep down he could love. Sometimes it’s the drug addict who tells him “there’s gonna be a time when I’m gonna have to go with whoever’s gonna get me the highest” on “Hornets! Hornets!” or the vague drug and religious conversions that haunt the life of “Stevie Nix,” leading Finn to exhort “Lord to be 33 forever!” Overall, Finn is caught up in details that no amount of talking can get him out of. But then that’s what his crack back-up band is for.

I've been listening to this album for a little over a year now, well over 120 listens, and it still sounds so new. Since falling in love with this album, I've soaked in their whole catalog and have become a full-blown fan. These guys are definitely not jaded. In a music landscape in which that's tough to do, these guys make me want to listen to them, seemingly effortlessly. Give this one a spin, and if you like it, go from there. I promise, you'll like everything else they do...

You have a tendency to preach to the choir

I'll preach - get this album. It's their best album. End of story

HOLD STEADY'S MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!
     
by monthegers

I never thought Craig Finn could do better than Lifter Puller's "Fiestas and Fiascos", but then there was Hold Steady's "Almost Killed Me"....and then this. It makes their subsequent dissapointments totally forgivable. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS ALBUM.
