I mean this is their 7th album. They\u2019re known from their folk inspired American Dad-esque rock. You show me a Dad who doesn\u2019t love Jim James! There is nothing wrong with their jangly upbeat Creedence vibe. It\u2019s all good. At times it\u2019s even down right inspiring. James has a gorgeous range and knack for writing positive and sentimental lyrics. The lyrics on The Waterfall are not quite as positive as other James works. While the single \u201cBig Decisions \u201cis gritty and upbeat other parts of the album are haunting. For instance \u201cLike a River\u201d is eerie and enchanting. The vocal harmonies and guitar work are chilling. \u201cIn Its Infancy (The Waterfall)\u201d is the cornerstone of the album even without considering it is the title track. It is an ambitious track with expansive movements and gripping moments. Unexpected things happen in the track which makes the listen that much more rewarding. \u201cGet the Point\u201d features vulnerable honest lyrics with an alt country vibe. \u201cOnly Memories Remain\u201d grabs the listener with melancholy lyrics and a groovy minimalistic beat. \u201cThin Line\u201d boasts harmonies a la Fleet Foxes and swaying layers of guitars. My Morning Jacket produced an album that sticks to their signature sound but topped it with a fresh layer. No doubt these dudes with stick to what they know and continue to be good at it.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Alabama Shakes, Dr. Dog, Father John Misty<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 4 (In Its Infancy (The Waterfall)), 3 (Like A River), 8 (Big Decisions), 7 (Thin Line), 10 (Only Memories Remain), 5 (Get the Point)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Emilie Stafford on 06\/29\/2015 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7th album for long time band My Morning Jacket<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":920,"featured_media":35034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[1674,3248],"class_list":["post-35033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-my-morning-jacket","tag-the-waterfall"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/My-Morning.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/920"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
