I first heard the songs ''[[Science Vs. Romance]]'' and ''[[Waves and Wires]]'' from the Rilo Kiley web site, and, after getting and loving, ''[[The Execution of All Things]]'', I bought this album. The first time I listened to it, I didn't care much for the opener ''[[Go Ahead]]'', but I liked most of the tracks on the album, and ''Go Ahead'' has since grown on me. This is my second favorite Rilo Kiley album, and one of my favorite albums over all.
