  The third Hold Steady album treats bar bands, bad decisions, aging punks, and desperate nights out with surprising tenderness and complexity. Craig Finn writes about addiction, faith, kissing, friendship, excess, and survival through vivid narrative detail and conversational delivery. The huge classic-rock arrangements make the songs feel communal rather than ironic. It’s an album deeply invested in flawed people trying to keep going. "Stuck Between Stations" and "Chips Ahoy" are highlights of their entire catalog
