Picaresque--This album has really solidified my love affair with this band. It always seemed they came from a far away place and time, but the new record added some dashes of contemporary themes in the lyrics that made it something special. My wife and I like to play a game while listening to this in the car, spotting all the great lines, needless to say we find new ones every time!

Best Tracks: 16 Military Wives, On the Bus Mall, The Mariner's Revenge Song, hell the whole damn thing!
