'The Sun'... lacks urgency and focus.
-
Though The Sun has plenty of accomplished performances by a capable and experienced band, it’s not very exciting stuff.
-
While the band has certainly grown musically, it also seems less patient and focused; much of the record feels like a hastily recorded jam session with a few superfluous electro-bobbles floating above the fray.
-
It would be difficult to convince yourself that The Sun is anything but meandering and listless.
-
There’s little to grasp onto with The Sun, as the record more often than not locks into a cautious mode of jamming on simple figures with little idea as to where to actually take them.

UrbThe few standout tracks are in the beginning, making the rest of the album sound like a monotonous waste of your time. [May 2007, p.94]
-
When the band operates under more traditional songwriting styles they can be quite catchy, but the more wandering, abstract moments can sometimes wander a little too far into non-structured noise.
