Listened to it all - might be overreacting, probably still in the honeymoon period, but that album was fantastic. The bass from my subwoofer was shaking the walls.

Springfield into Ghosts is one of the greatest things of the last 20hrs I’m going to 2 it cos I liked the band when they went grrumble twang.



Fuck off slags, your 12 sided die never lucked out on you being anything other than being a dribbler.

Why the hate for Can't Let Go? It's simple, but it works. This album is Ok, but it lacks some standout tracks.

I think they don't know what direction to go for now and maybe we will have to wait for some years. I remember waiting between A Natural Disaster and We're Here, man, that was some long years. If i remember well they've presented Everything and Angel walk among us years before the album dropped, and they changed those songs a lot.

Anyway, i like Distant Satellites more, theres more striking melodies there. And i their best album of 'new era' is Weather Systems imo, though We're Here gets close.

endless ways, t/t, springfield and close your eyes are great but the rest is really forgettable in comparison

Endless Ways and Close Your Eyes are amazing. Reminds me of Submotion Orchestra
