the album is very sugary, uneven is also a good criticism...they've splashed in some of their trademark angular, spacy guitar riffs, and the lyrics are less puzzling, more straightforward....i like it for its poppy, summery sound in parts, and the resignation in the album is projected well, just too obvious
of course, at the end of the day we're all wishing the album was better, bottom line
the rumble of the train trails off to infinity, a place where no one goes anymore
JC, no not that one
