All three come together in a double album release composed of the 10 tracks of <em>Good God<\/em> and the six on <em>Infinite Ease<\/em>. If <em>Good God<\/em> were a party, it would be the kind where, at 3 am, you find yourself sitting paralyzed on the couch staring at someone\u2019s jiggling kneecap and wondering why your head hurts so bad. There\u2019s always something going on every second, usually Langenus wailing over wiggling horns over guitars ripping the shit out of the air. It\u2019s simply exhausting! Don\u2019t get me wrong, though, \u00a0this is not particularly fast or heavy. There is a lot of decent guitar work and nice head-bobbing country and folk sounds. <em>Infinite Ease<\/em> is a happy-go-lucky blend of sweet guitars which tend to go on sun-filled dilly-dallies.
