My first exposure to this album was to the cover of “handle with care.” I was really disappointed. However, in the context of the entire album the half-assed cover totally works. Difficult to explain why.

I’ve been enjoying the Rilo Kiley material for a couple of years now. Their song arrangements are especially interesting and the lyrics are always interesting. This album is a bit more country/gospel and the genre doesn’t provide for the same flexibility with arrangements but it does allow for the infectious lyrics to take center stage.
