    After setting expectations really high with All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone I was ecstatic to hear the new album. They spent the next 3-4 years coming up with this? It's listenable but a horrible case of an artist imitating themselves. They took out the piano and noise sections they were hinting at with the last album and they just can't seem to use any other notes on the fret board.

I hope this is just a hiccup because I hate seeing a band I've pimped out so much just settle for something safe.… Expand

    A great success on every level; this is their best album since The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place.

    They are still a force to be reckoned with and they still write some of the best and most beautiful instrumental music but without a small revolution in sound; their catalogue will (albeit, beautifully) end up blending together like one long song.

    Take Care, like all of the EITS albums, still has quite a lot going for it: its bombastic gestures are still appropriately dramatic, its production still crackles and shines exquisitely, its conventional undulations are still paced for maximum emotional effect. But there is no surprise or wonder to be found here, no chances or risks taken.
