it's ridiculous for "fans" that say they love the Avett Brothers soooo much to say that they don't like this album, or that they're "disappointed." Yes, this album may be a little different.. but everything changes. Just because this isn't the exact same album over again doesn't mean that it's not good. If they had made exactly what you expected, then it wouldn't be as good. They're making their music the way that they want to, and they should be respected for that.

I personally love the album (and all of the previous albums).
