    It's really rather underwhelming. Nothing here with the charming beauty of Optimist or the occasional Dad Rock par excellence of Ether Song. Instead we have a rather slight album which is barely noticable or notable.

    The arrangements are much tighter than ever and cover up whatever lyrical deficiencies the charismatic, freewheeling attitude of the band doesn't.

    Sweet, vibrant and sunny songs with just as much invention and passion as 2000's buzz-building early EPs.

    There’s not one song on here worth releasing as a single. Only two or three are even remotely listenable.
