For the Iron & Wine fan out there... and for those who have listened to the new album, Kiss Each Other Clean, what do you think of it?



I remember it took me a while to like The Shepherd's Dog when that came out and hopefully something similar will happen to this album because so far... I'm not all that impressed.

One of the things that I loved about all the previous Iron & Wine albums was that the album always started off excellent and ended beautifully. This album I am not sensing that. It starts off well... but the ending was very forgettable. I remember on the other albums the last song was so rememberable and stood out.

Last songs:
Muddy Hymnal (off of The Creek Drank the Cradle)
Passing Afternoon (off of Our Endless Numbered Days)
Flightless Bird, American Mouth (off of The Shepard's Dog)

Your Fake Name is Good Enough For Me (off of Kiss Each Other Clean)


That is just my first impression and would like to hear what you guys have to say.
