I think this is definitely a different album for them. Not sure if it works 100% of the time, but we'll see after a few more listens.
Agreed. My favorite track is easily Masters. Didn't really latch onto anything besides that on first listen.
My favorites are the singles (Fountains of Youth, Past Lives, Villainy) none of which I liked at first, which gives me hope that the whole album will grow too.
I think this is probably their worst record yet but it is still growing on me more with each listen. It's worst moments are when it sounds too much like Hummingbird but the tracks that stray from that sound are great.
i love this band a lot. after two listens, id put this above hummingbird, an album i love immensely. this is just so good.
