I've been slowly but surely been listening the Road to the Skeleton Coast podcast, where The Lawrence Arms' Brendan Kelly goes into nerd-numbing detail over his album history. I'm currently on episode 13 from June 26th. The Lawrence Arms' Chris McCaughan is a guest and he talks about their latest album, which is the title of the podcast. He keeps talking about solving problems. That might explain why I'm not a fan of the album (only kept two songs on my iPod, "Quiet Storm" and "How It Rot"). If you're struggling with the songwriting, then the end result is always going to be flawed, no matter how much Epitaph money you have in the coffers.
