Lambchop - Is A Woman

My first Lambchop album, and I'm not really digging it - while I appreciate the hushed country cum lounge atmospherics and rather bruised americana vibe of the record, I find Is A Woman as a whole to be pretty heavy going and verging on dull in its uniform quietness. Then again, there are enough good moments scattered throughout to make the journey worthwhile (eg, the whole of "Caterpillar"), and perhaps it'll prove to be a grower.
