I agree they can be catchy, but I think Kevin greatly overestimates both how interesting his voice is and how 'spacey' their synths are. I prefer the energy and the lower register singing of "Lucidity" or "Expectation". FWIW I didn't like Lonerism that much either so it isn't just this record.

Well it's true, yes, but you won't get far telling me that this band is all that they're meant to be

Well I for one see this being the follow up to Reflektor that Everything Now failed to be and Reflektor is one of my favs of the decade so color myself hype

The piano riff on patience is great, but is Kevin really going to do another entire album singing in the same boring expression?

Both new songs are great, especially Patience. Hopefully he won't only sing in falsetto again and there're some more ambitious song structures, like the opener and closer of Currents.

But that Borderline chorus is so catchy!



Personally I think Kev's vox are perfect for the music he writes.

neither song is good. band has completely lost the thread, was way better as a Revolver fanfiction project than as this sort of sophistipop synth stuff. but good on them for gaining traction and the guy is clearly a major talent. ah well

They're simple but really blissful and catchy. Maybe a little repetitive
