Hot take: too much Thile. Odd time signatures and phrasing, unintuitive chord progressions, a lot of lyrics about spirituality, sin, and redemption. Stuff that I know will reward repeated listening but it's going to be a lot of goshdarned work.
And maybe it's not even fair to blame all on Chris. All the songs are credited to him, Sara, Sean, and Mike Elizondo (El-i-ZONNN-do!) equally.
