Make it all available - please.
I just picked up Fiestas myself, and, being a considerable Hold Steady fan, I'm really digging Lifter Puller as well. The Hold Steady can tend to be a bit over the top with the endless guitar wailing (which I also love), so it's refreshing to hear something a bit more toned-down and eclectic from Craig Finn and crew here. I'd consider downloading this entire set as well, but probably won't touch it until the whole thing (with disc two) is available.
Can't. Stop. Listening.
This is far and away one of the best collections of songs I've downloaded from eMusic. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that Hold Steady fans should check out Lifter Puller — personally, I think Lifter Puller blows The Hold Steady out of the water. Maybe it's that the sloppy, unpolished sound of the songs meshes so well with Craig Finn's distinctive figurative and literal voice(s). I dunno. Just download "Sherman Island," "To Live and Die in LBI," "I Like the Lights," or "Secret Santa Cruz" (which has this couplet that stuck in my head for days after the first time I listened: "The X makes me feel sexy and the sex makes me feel empty...")
Snatch this up!
You won't be dissappointed.
pre-Hold Steady
Hold Steady fans should check this out to get a taste of Craig's lyrics of fury in an art-punk setting. It's a better fit in many ways. Best tracks are "I Like the Lights" and "Nassau Coliseum" -- in a perfect world, they'd play that as a make-out song at high school dances. It's a shame the second disc isn't here but it's not nearly as good as this one.

I was looking forward to d/ling "Soft Rock" as I own "Fiestas" and "Dynamite" and am interested in owning rarities. Disappointing that eMusic is only posting Disc 1. If it's an oversight, please post the second disc!
Have to agree
Where's the 2nd disc? Can't stop listening to this one and it's got some great stuff. I'd like to download the other tracks.
found the second disk
The second disk is available [url=http://www.mtraks.com/artist/lifter_puller/release/151-soft_rock]on emusic clone mtraks.com[/url]. Yay! I've always thought the omission of the second disk was just a dumb oversight, and that basically confirms it.
