Just because a band is changing doesn't always mean its for the better. The Post-Queen Mary stuff has been OK, but they really can't compare (on a purely objective level) with ATTQM.
I can't think of any way to explain it other than this: I've never found any music that sounds anything like Apologies to the Queen Mary. It's a singular piece of music. However, everything since then has been on a level that I see all the time. I could write some of these songs. But I don't know how I could ever write something like ATTQM.
And at this point, I don't think Wolf Parade does either.
Terrible Love is still kinda murky. I may just rip the Fallon performance and put it in my library instead of the album track.
That aside, this album is terrific.
