Have You Ever Done Something Evil? (2014)

by Hallelujah The Hills

supported by

julian Every track stomps. Favorite track: Pick Up An Old Phone.

summer villain I've loved this band from the git-go, but this is probably their best recorded performance to date. Earworms galore, and well-recorded to boot. Favorite track: Phenomenonology.

Richard RR Utterly worth buying! Favorite track: Do You Have Romantic Courage?.

Randy Johnson The perfect soundtrack to drive from St. Louis, MO to Keokuk, IA. One of the three finest records of 2014. I Stand Corrected, We Are What We Say We Are, and Do You Have Romantic Courage are standouts, but really, the entire album is outstanding. Favorite track: I Stand Corrected.

Jan Kuik best album yet. Especially the long(er) numbers. My fav: Phenomenology Favorite track: Try This Instead.

Steve Gisselbrecht God DAMN I know I've said it before but this album is just ONE BANGER AFTER ANOTHER it is so good I am amazed. Favorite track: I Stand Corrected.

You’ve been selected to participate In a survey about this call You can press 3 to get on with it Or smash the phone into the wall Cuz when times get rough We can always choose the good ol’ fight or flight & this informal polling call is just another way to pass the night We used to live like a Two-Part Tribe Now we’re struggling to pass by We used to shout names at the dawn If you recall this please press one If you recall this please press one & if you’re all alone when the shit goes down You can always press the star key to see if I’m around But I probably won’t be around Because the world tends to swallow us whole & I’d rather risk oblivion Then wait around to play some phony role I’m losing track of who hates who I’m an exception to the rule I think somebody’s coming around who’s gonna tell us the truth Is everybody's wasting your time?

I love Lovecraft in Brooklyn, and this version captures the energy of the Mountain Goats in concert as well as any recording I've heard. My absolute favorite, but the live version of See America Right is a close second. Bangers, the both of 'em. theoysterking
