When first streaming the record on their website I’ll admit I was turned off for the most part. After listening a few times it has grown on me, some of my favorite albums came into my world that way. Machu Picchu, Gratisfaction and Life is Simple in the Moonlight are all fantastic tunes. And while we all love Is This It and ROF we’d be writing them off just the same if they gave us a third album like that. I think musically they’ve gotten way more interesting and Julian’s vox sound the best to date. Had no idea he could find some of the places he’s going. There’s a couple stinkers in tracks like You’re So Right and Games but the rest of the album is pretty good once you give it a chance. I personally like all the harmonies and little instrumental flourishes and the production sounds good. Anyway, that’s my take.

This show was absolutely incredible! Kudos for posting this.
