I can believe that. There are some cracking ideas on this album, they're just often presented in a dull and uninspired way. A lick of fresh paint could make all the difference

Mhmm, I thought the remixes were more interesting than the originals off this

I have it at a 4 apparently. Checking whether that's still correct.

The only problem with this is the margin of quality... it's got a great atmosphere that is unique within their discog, as all their albums are, but unlike their other albums which are kept consistently engaging by the sum of their parts, here you have some of MA's best material as well as their least inspired.

It makes songs like Rush Minute and Atlas Air seem even more uneventful by contrast than they would as standalones

Also I think the Splitting the Atom version of Psyche is vastly superior to the album version and wish it was included here instead.

Yeah, especially Rush Minute dragged way too much. I skipped those during my verifying spin. That 4 still feels applicable for me. By no means a bad album, they just have done better.

The rework of Flat of the Blade, titled Bulletproof Love from that EP is also worth a check.

Also this album does get points for having the greatest album art, booklet, and packaging ever

On it now and right from the start it's better. That guitar on the album version is just a little too bland. Thanks for the rec man!

Art is awesome, yeah! It's their best by far anyway (but I dislike the art for the first few, haha, so that's not saying much in my case).

Ooh yeah, that rework of Flat Of The Blade is delish too. Quite a nice EP, silly me who slept on it for so long!

An incredible song came on at the club last night and I shazamed it and it was Paradise Circus. Anything here half as good as that track?
