Really cool post-punk that oscillates with high regularity between faster paced, fun songs (1,2,4,6,7,9) and softer stuff, which makes for an album that is quite well structured although there is a touch of a compilation feel. But tracks like the slower 3 which wouldnt be all that great in isolation works super well here. 1 is a great cool album, and it and 2 showcase how the band kind of retains its energy when you don't expect it, which I quite enjoyed. 5 is more of a slow building, grandiose song, and is a bit overlong albeit cool - the first sign of fatigue. 7 has cool catchiness coupled with mystery synths, a formula that 9 repeasts, but I found that in the last third I was getting less and less engaged, and so I suppose that drops this a point. Definite keeper though. 4.0
