"i mean, tracks like last messiah are definitely better. i also enjoy black sand and pretty bird and others.



the instruments on the album have fabulous tone and musicianship. however some tracks seem just like rock out tracks for the sake of rocking... tracks like carpet baggers,fernando,jack killed mom. whats the point?



anyway still a good album."

Completely amazing

"I was never a big fan of Rilo Kiley and never heard Rabbit Fur Coat when I first checked out this album. Some of the songs blew me away from the first listen. Others grew on me slowly. There's not a bad or boring moment on this album, except for Elvis Costello in Carpetbaggers, who makes me wish I was deaf for 15 seconds. There's a perfect mix of rock, country, folk, and soul here that sounds timeless. Jenny Lewis' voice goes from high and eerie (Black Sand) to low, tough and sultry, and she masters everything.



The Next Messiah is just about the smoothest, most energetic, rocking song I've ever heard, and it's basically three songs. See Fernando and Jack Killed Mom are in the same vein.



Acid Tongue sounds like a classic folk song. It's simple and powerful, as are Godspeed and the other low-key songs here.



I've gone back and heard some great songs from RFC and Rilo Kiley's albums but nothing compares to this one."

Perfect
