It's a bit more refined than shed ted noncecore granted. Quite conservative. masculine but with that American love for the indefatigably feudal. Out of time, out of joint. The torments of the American psyche in sonic form. If it was true shed ted noncecore it would have jaunty pianos and all, so they have to be applauded for their restraint.
It's like people who develop beer bellies from buddweiser.
