  1. Under and Under dispatches the charge of repetition and "samey" songcraft very quickly.
  2. From the robotic churn of 'Blue Lights' to the wiry rock'n'roll of 'Tin Birds', there's little cohesion--rhaps understandably, given Sniper's penchant for releasing new material every couple of days--t that simply makes it feel of a lovingly-crafted mixtape.
  3. Somewhere around track eight, the formula starts to wear thin, and the mood lightens a little to a sort of murky, sleepless pre-dawn--it's not quite sunshine, or it's supposed to be, but Blank Dogs can't really make sense of the big glowing thing in the sky.
