Prayers to Summon the Destroying Angel

I love the Mountain Goats. I really do. Their albums, with a few exceptions, like The Life of the World to Come, and Tallahassee, are, for me, uneven affairs. There's always at least one song that I just love, a song that is life changingly good. There are a few okay songs, where the overall song is good with a few odd phrases, something that turns me off, or maybe I never latch onto anything. Then there are few (sorry, "Tianchi Lake") that I don't particularly care to listen to.
It's so worth it, though, for that one song. "Against Pollution." "Love Love Love." "Lovecraft in Brooklyn." "Heretic Pride."
Those one or two.
