Post Description

Overall, I consider Here to be a pretty great album.  Although much slower than Up From Below with very little of the driving quality of songs such as "Janglin" and "40 Day Dream," Here is beautiful, calming, and overall rather inspirational.  Its spiritual qualities are not intrusive, but rather inviting and assuring.  Ebert asks us from the beginning to "come dance" as he believes that he has found a route to love and happiness that is simple and enjoyable.  'All you have to do is reach for paradise and you can achieve it' seems to be the primary message encapsulated by the loving and lovable tracks of the album.  Sometimes criticized for not having any true purpose behind the opacity of their first album, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros delivers with their second album; the title seems to be their way of saying "You wanted a message, some direction? Here you go.  Here."
