It's a grower.

I didn't have any expectations for the album sound-wise, but still felt a bit underwhelmed. Some of the songs like "Summertearz," "Little Man," even past material, were different in concert; longer. So, I guess I was expecting more danceable grooves.

It's hard to describe their sound:

electronic

spacey

80's

R&B

pop

.. they've seemed to have lost a bit of the jazziness that was so present on their first album.

Still figuring it out.. lol

3.5/5 so far.

That description sounds alot like the best stuff on "Machine Dreams", to me. Which is a gooood sign.

Yeah, it continues from Machine Dreams, for sure. But it's even spacier.

This album is awesome! I still think "Machine Dream" is a little better than this one, but I love that album, So it's hard to say right now. But I really do like this one biggrin

...You can't get any spacier than the album version of "Feather".

I love that goddamn song.

I love "Feather" as well. It's one of their best songs!

Have you had the chance to listen to "When I Go Out"?

It's definitely their most experimental work.

The fan did a good job with the footage from Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre Sa Vie. I like that film a lot.
