Perhaps one of my most pleasant 3/5 albums I've rated, but this perhaps is the weakest of their albums I have heard. The beginning of the album sounds good enough until by track 4 this band took away from their charming 3-piece band of instruments and added the use of a synthesizer. Come on Morphine! If you're going to use another instrument in your act, you should at least incorporate that instrumentation into more tracks on this album. Or hell, they could've gone the long way and feature an additional unique instrument, different per track, but you guys hadn't... I know this band is more than capable but chose to not explore this possibility.
