    Like The Polyphonic Spree stripped of all their faux compound dwelling arse wittery, this is an unambiguous shot of serotonin straight to your head and heart.

    One might be a bit startled by how much, well, more broken this new [album] sounds. [#17, p.92]

    It is not a terrible album by any means; just an unfocussed and sprawling one.

    One of the best albums ever, beautiful from start to finish, almost two years since it was released, and I still listen to it regularly.

    Challenging and unsatisfying. Not a good combo. I'm tremendously disappointed in this album.
