The songwriting is just REALLY well done. These guys clearly understand music theory and are able to craft music to hit exactly the right emotional points they’re trying to hit.
They’re not my favorite band, but I recognize quality musical craftsmanship.
Agreed. In addition to the songwriting, they're all very good musicians, but what tipped the scales for me was a Roky Erickson cover they did. They seem to have well-rounded musical tastes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kNetd_lISI
Also, clearly big fans of ABBA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9DV1eHQpcA
