Review[]
K. Thor Jensen recommended The Mountain Goats to me, and my first exposure was from the CD that came in the fourteenth issue of The Believer, which featured "Palmcorder Yajna" from this album. I loved it, and Thor sent me a link to download "No Children" from Tallahassee. This song was also great, so I decided to pick up one of the albums. Thor recommended Nothing For Juice, All Hail West Texas or Full Force Galesburg, but I could only find We Shall All Be Healed so I got that one instead. I'm very glad I did. This is probably the most recently purchased CD on this list, but I've been listening to it every day since I've got it, which is a pretty good sign. I'm going to pick up more albums soon so I don't get burned out on this one, because I love it. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
