Well, here I am just getting around to a review of the latest release from The Hold Steady.

Generally I like the album. Its not my favorite but its generally a steady effort. My question is, is it too soon to get self-referential and nostalgic? Or at least, is it too soon to get consciously self-referential and nostalgic.

That's one of the many issues I'll ponder during this song by song review of Stay Positive.

I may even be daring enough to summarize my thoughts at the end.
