The Silver Gymnasium is a loose concept album centered around singer Will Sheff’s hometown, Meriden, New Hampshire. Here’s how Sheff described it in an interview: I feel like most of what I wanted to say about my childhood is there in the album. Furthermore, I’m not sure I made this record because I wanted to say anything about my childhood so much as I made it because I wanted to talk about nostalgia and about childhood in general, and it felt more productive to use my own childhood as the model. The Silver Gymnasium Q&A.

The Silver Gymnasium ends with two of the best Okkervil River songs ever. All The Time Every Day" is a freewheeling, arguably boozy pub rock song, with doo-wop inspired piano underscoring it; more importantly, Sheff's lyrics are like a warm blanket, extending comfort to anyone who thinks, quite commonly, that they're all alone in whatever they're going through. When I hear this album I can totally understand Sheff's choice to make this secret visit home, where he sits on the edge of town, lounging on a car that so isn't a cutlass cruiser, wondering why his town is so ingrained in who he is. When it comes down to it, The Silver Gymnasium is about not quite knowing how you felt. It's the past as a blur, with the glorious moments – and the painful ones – extenuated. And that is so Hardin.
