This went a bit under the radar over here, a shame, because it's a very good record.

In a vacuum, a well crafted album after all. But in the context of their discog, and knowing what they can do, this is a huge frustration. Restraint can be good in music, but this has too much of it. This is clear from the very start with 1's very sparse explosiveness - the track has good ideas but remains way too tame. It does also intro us to one of the album's strengths: da bass is deliciously mixed. 2's more of the same, 3 is instantly less good, and 4 is even calmer, although it ha chorus that hints at what I wanted, and once hte beat starts it does have nice cocktail vibes I guess. Their sound just calls for funk, guitar, syncopation, brass, and we hardly get that. 5 is once again not bad, but low energy. The section at min 3 on 6 is cool but short lived. 7 is slightly groovier and better, albeit not in the way I expected, and I really love 8's space cartoon aesthetic. 10 does get the funk going a little more too (9 being just an interlude) but it's still not one of their huge jams. 11 has quite nice synthwork, and 12 has more of a beat but remains tame and never explodes. 13 is yet another of those low energy tracks - feels like the album could go on for hours, especially because there is no conclusion at all. It just falls flat, and nearly each track feels like a rest track between two other rest tracks. I am trying not to let my frustration affect my rating, but yes I liked their prior output a lot more. 3.4
