No such thing as a bad Avett album. They just don't exist. Is the product of "I&LOVE&U" what I had built up in my mind, as I waited anxiously for the release? No. But not bad. It's gotta be tough to outdo every album. The Boys from Conchord have consistantly one upped themselves with every release......til now. Still when compared to other non-Avett offerings out there this is a solid album, if not spectacular. I anxiously skimmed it for "Skin and Bones" a song I first heard in Indy at The Vogue this year, and was disapointed to not find it.
