Wagging Tongue has grown on me. I like how bits out of context could sound like a part of a longer prog electronic track. Would be so wild for them to just drop an Autobahn-like track as a swansong lol. Between that and People Are Good's verses, they definitely had a Kraftwerk itch while writing this one

Definitely aoty contender

Album Rating: 3.5

For a late-era DM album it is pretty decent. Not sure though if it is THAT much better than Sounds of the Universe or Delta Machine; all have distinct profiles and are quite enjoyable, but my excitement about them tends to wear-off pretty quickly. Still, I dig the Kraftwerk influence on some tracks, and the band's still very good live.

Yeah, I know that's the general consensus, and I tended to think the same after this one came out. However, in my initial phase of excitement for MM I revisited their post-PTA discog, and was very pleasantly surprised how much SoU and DM are comparable to this in overall quality (even though I can't stand Peace and Soft Touch/Raw Nerve from those, so they're just out of the playlist). And I didn't think even once of jamming MM since around July, so I guess they're the same to me. Maybe its time that I revisit it.
