I will never understand how they went from the masterpiece that is Immense Intense Suspense, to this, which is a pretty boring album. The song compositions feel lazy, and the performance in general is weak. It's got a few redeeming moments, but a mostly boring album.

After many comments and reviews I've read, I expected it to be way worse but there's actually some stuff to like. A very low seven, bordering on 6 for me. But yeah, there are some strong moments but it just doesn't feel as focused and well composed as their grand debut. The production is kind of thin too. Still thinking if I should lower it to six, specially considering what it could have been. Will give it more listens to decide I guess.
