Generally speaking, much-anticipated debut albums -- or sophomore albums that are kinda debut albums because the prior releases were self-released, bedroom-recorded, or in some other way dismissible as "not the actual debut" -- tend to be disappointing.  That is not the case with the new  Car Seat Headrest record,  Teens of Denial -- it is a stormer, and a slow burner, and most excellent.  There are a few songs that could be edited for length, but even still, excellent. Likely the album of the year (so far) here at BAGeL Radio.
