This Just In! Last Year’s Peter, Bjorn, and John Album Actually Pretty Good

Living Thing

If you’re like me, with the pressure of the year-end best-of list behind you, it should be of some surprise that Peter, Bjorn, and John’s Living Thing, the long-awaited and oft-maligned follow-up to Writer’s Block, is actually pretty good.

I was unsure, but after listening to it a few times today, yeah, I think it’s actually pretty good. Not anywhere near as good as Writer’s Block, but better than a lot of other new albums from 2009.

It’s a relief to finally write that.
