...without joining an esoteric group. One simply has to attend church, pray regularly, be sincere in trying to live a good life and become an active member of the local parish--no self-flagellation required.

Ritter even allows the lyrics of “Idaho” to exist almost without accompaniment; he sings the soulful melody with just a hint of acoustic guitar. Instead of forcing complicated riffs into the same airspace, Ritter opts to feature the distinctive sound...
