Combining an electronic sound, dream pop aesthetics and some woodwind instruments sprinkled here and there, AOTS sure is a sonically interesting release, but a lot of the songs lack momentum and the thin, monotonous vocals have a hard time drawing me in. I do adore some of the instrumentation - Hunker Down in particular is brilliant mainly for that reason and I wished more of the album sounded as imaginative as that one. - 5.5 to 6.0
