137 represents a creative transition away from the seemingly Smashing Pumpkins' influence and more towards a Radiohead "The Bends" era with a progressive rock twist. And for the better part of this album, the change is appreciative and honest to the artistic nature of Bruce Soord. 137 might also be mistaken for a Gazpacho release with its tranquil interludes and atmospheric presence. The expansive PVS is a clear highlight showcasing the band's growing confidence in its maturing signature sound, indicating a promising future of exciting studio releases.
