I think a lot of the problems I have with the record feel fixed by the 2nd half of it. The beginning didn't feel like a real rock band working together, but the 2nd half had the guitar I missed so dearly from a song like "Careful You". I feel like this record is a grower and the next TVOTR record will probably be something that reconciles the poppiness/electronic sounds of this album with a live band feel of their previous record.
I was excited for CHz for sure, saw them play the new songs live and listened to the live stream. I liked things about it, but I felt the production didn't help some of the songs and a few of the tracks really just don't have a ton of substance there. It's got GREAT moments (New Town Burnout, Applesauce, Today's Supernatural), but AnCo fans have incredibly high standards since they've been on such a run.
