Quite simply one of the best albums I own

"I don't know that much about Sloan (other than what can be gleaned at Amazon.com) but this is a stunningly good album. Not a stinker in the dozen songs. Kind of 70s rock with a contemporary sensibility. Good vocals, crunchy guitars, electric pianos, catchy tunes. I have trouble thinking of individual songs on this disc, 'cause they all fit together so well. Seriously, my favorite is probably Marquee and the Moon, or it's Take Good Care of the Poor Boy, or its Delivering Maybes, because the album finishes so strongly, but any one of the tracks could be a favorite. Buy it."
Concept album?

"This is different than any other sloan album, the album stars with 3 very mellow songs, which makes you wonder, is this how its gonna be? But "friendship" kicks and you hear sloan doing what they do best, ROCK(that was cheesy). All of the songs flow into eachother extremely well.
Key tracks: N.S, friendship, sensory deprivation, losing california, take good care of the poor boy
GREAT ALBUM, GREAT BAND"
