It has the same problem as The Curtain Hits the Cast, where it runs so long by the time it's over you're kind of drained and "meh" on the whole thing. It does have a few other of my favorite songs of theirs though, like "Candy Girl", "In the Drugs", and "Point of Disgust".
michaelicious:
Good article here.
Some highlights:
--- Quote ---The resulting album C’mon shares the same kind of simple intimacy as classic Low albums like Trust and Secret Name. After experimenting with dense soundscapes and more politically- themed material on their past couple of albums, C’mon finds the band operating in a much more stripped down setting, once again exploring deeply personal and spiritual ideas that make their best records so haunting.

--- Quote ---The new record also showcases more of Parker’s voice this time around, particularly on “You See Everything” and “Especially Me” which Parker wrote.

--- Quote --- “We practice in our basement, so lately we’ve just been looking at our old CDs and picking songs that we haven’t performed in a long time, which is fun. Also, our bass player will often come to rehearsal and ask us to play songs we’ve haven’t done in years. He’ll be like, ‘Why don’t you ever play this one?’ And we’re always like, ‘We have no idea. Let’s do it.’

squawk:
Trust is definitely the shit and somehow I've listened to that one the most according to iTunes (just slightly over lost in the fire) so yeah fuck you guys with your ""meh"" "shit"
Scandanavian War Machine:
it's not that it's actually "meh" it's just that the first two or three songs are so excellent that it makes the rest of the album seem worse than it really is, besides a few standout tracks later on like, as tommy said, "john prine"
it's like eating cheesecake and then grilled cheese (substitute your owns tastes here, i guess). grilled cheese isn't bad per se, but next to cheesecake it's like "who cares?"
squawk:
yeah i'm gonna have to veto not caring about grilled cheese too
