This is one of those albums you want to listen to when you literally can't find comfort in anything. Not to say this is a happy album, it's very much the opposite, it's just the sonic equivalent of that feeling. David Bazan (aka Pedro the Lion) is a christian and a lot of his songs, on this album especially, are lent their fair-share of emotional weight because they're about the things that tempt him to sin, the things that have made him sin and feeling like shit. Something we can all relate to. Obviously this is uncool because Bazan is an outspoken christian and the music is definitely not edgy, falling somewhere between Low and Death Cab for Cutie's first few albums... but if sad, guitary and existential singer-songwriters are your thing then hey, I'm not stopping you.
