Good Tracks:
02 “Nantes”
03 “A Sunday Smile”
04 “Guyamas Sonora”
06 “Cliquot”
09 “In the Mausoleum”
13 “The Flying Club Cup”
This is a great release from Beirut, and is an advancement over Gulag Orkestar. Some say the new album isn’t as good, but i’d say this is much better. Tracks 3 and 4 are really great. Give the rest of the album a fair chance, you may like those tracks too, these just stuck out easily.

Good Tracks:
4. “Postcards from Italy” – 4:17
5. “Mount Wroclai (Idle Days)” – 3:15
6. “Rhineland (Heartland)” – 3:58
7. “Scenic World” – 2:08
11. “After the Curtain” – 2:54
I wasn’t sure what to think of this at first, but it quickly grew on me big time. “Postcards from Italy” and “Mount Wroclai” are equally my favorite from this release. Zach Condon and whoever else was involved did an excellent job with some tight instrumentals.
