The band has truly further progressed their sound. It’s no accident that the details which a casual listener hears as more mushy and less angular, or as just noise, are there. Every note, beat, and sound only adds to the fantastic fabric of this album. The songwriting approach seems to have been very advanced and to have come from a band comfortable with the album making process. There is just no way, as they have stated in interviews, the songs started with some goal “mood” or sound to base the writing off of. Saying this album doesn’t have as many “surefire singles” than their last is very indicative of the type of listener writing this review. The layers and textures take plenty more than a few listens to sink in. It is indeed premature. Saying that someone is pompous for suggesting not to write off the album because of this review is ridiculous.
