Evil Urges

Apparently Evil Urges is My Morning Jacket's fifth studio album, but I have to admit I never listened to them before it came out this past summer (released June 10, 2008). I heard several of songs from the album many times over this summer thanks to XPN and I've recently started listening to it frequently again, but I honestly don't know if I'd recognize the band in a song I didn't actually KNOW was them. I just can't get over how completely different the tracks on Evil Urges sound--to the point where I love some of the songs ("I'm Amazed," "Thank You Too!," "Sec Walkin," "Librarian") and don't even like some of the others (all summer I changed the station whenever "Highly Suspicious" came on). "Sec Walkin," for example, reminds me a little bit of the Eagles while "Highly Suspicious" seems far more new wave and has a completely different feel. I'm going to have to check out some of their older albums (especially Z, from 2005, when the current band members were already together) and think about this some more. I'd be really interested to know if anyone else shares my opinion of Evil Urges.
