Actually, I wasn't as impressed with their latest album. Assuming they
haven't come out with one since the S/T. The lyrics seemed too
self-conscious, and I had the feeling that they had run low on ideas and
just continued to write anyway. (It seems like two or three songs on
there were about writing songs....)
I was enormously impressed, though, when I got _The Fatherless and the
Widow_ (I started with _This Beautiful Mess_) and saw the CS Lewis quote
that explained the band's name.
To date, my favorite by them is the album-length EP _Tickets for a Prayer
Wheel_. But I haven't listened to any SNtR lately, so that may have
changed.
