...first track on the album, however, is misleading. “Is There a Ghost,” opens with echoing guitar notes and Bridwell’s voice before picking up the beat and plunging into loud, distorted chords. It’s extremely reminiscent of their most popular track on the first album, “The Funeral”—it’s the sound that made “Everything All the Time” so exciting...

But deputizing them allows the Americans to gather personal information, take fingerprints and track their whereabouts for a least part of the time. The volunteers sign three-month contracts, wear only special armbands instead of uniforms and use their own weapons, but they get paid three-quarters of what Iraqi police recruits receive and are given preference for joining the police and army.
