I still maintain this band turned in to a hilariously awful attempt at being Moving Mountains. Just stop.

I don't know, I just don't hear this boring passionless album you are all describing. To me it's much more colorful and experimental piece than Wait for Love, with the band clearly trying new things, some of them lay perfectly and some of them not at all. Yeah, Easy is a snoozefest, but there are enough exciting moments throughout the other songs instead. The vocals are a clear weak point on a technical level, but in terms of variety, I see a huge improvement from WfL. I get all the criticism but I'm quite surprised by its intensity. Is it really that bad?

I just feel the exact opposite, I don't get any excitement out of this compared to Wait For Love. It's different and more varied in comparison perhaps, but that doesn't lead to a better album; their songwriting is just sort of lazy, and the effects aren't much to write home about. The few times it DOES click, it's either too brief or immediately ruined by a subsequent song.
"Easy" is as offensively bland as "Mouth," "The Tricks," and "Skiv."

It's practically a sister album to Wait For Love, only with the decay of a relationship this time, so it's practically the polar opposite in themes to WFL. It makes sense they purposely played this album out so subdued, spacious, and dense, allowing everything to breathe and to ebb and flow with the lyrical content. PBTT have always been heavy on lyrics, and this time it's no different. The sorrow and anguish is comparable to lyrics off of Keep You. I admit, the album is much more enjoyable with a good headphone listen and a lyric sheet in front of you. But, ffs y'all.

Fair enough, I'm interested how my perception of this album will evolve with time. I was floored by Wait for Love at first but it kinda faded over the years. Keep You remains totally crushing experience.
Anyways, Mouth and Skiv are great, I really like the almost Low-sounding outro of the first one.

@cold yeah I understand the intent, it just doesn't come through to me in the music. Maaaybe a better vocal performance would draw more emotion out, but as it stands, it sounds so tired and dull. In terms of the whole time passing/relationships decaying thing, Parallel Lives did it so much better tbh.
I'm glad y'all like it though, it's just definitely not my cuppa.

I'm really not understanding the vocal points. Like, I don't hear what the problem is. I think it actually fits the album.

have not listened to this yet, but i read that they wrote a whole nother album, then scrapped it before writing this, which is interesting.
maybe real life has caught up with the guys.

This is pretty nice. I’m sure they’ll never top Keep You, but this is still very peaceful and melodic (and at times a little experimental as well). A nice listen.

This is somewhere between poor and average. The drumming is above average, but the vocal performance is oftentimes poor, the guitars are pretty average, and the songwriting is poor. When you toss it all together it's kind of a mess. The discordant melodies in most of the tracks are awful. PBTT have constantly evolved and that's great, but this ain't it for me.

Pretty interesting, yeah. Wonder what caused them to scrap it.

I only listened to the singles but it's strange just how lifeless the direction they took after Kept You is. Like, how can these dudes be stoked to play and create this kind of music? It's just so obviously grating. It really sucks how much the vocals hold everything back

If you heard the singles you heard the vibe of the entire album. I was hoping there might be some merit beyond those singles in the full context, but that was not my experience

"Buckley" was such a strange choice when "The Days" is on the table.
