Pretty solid release overall, but feels like a step down from Dissolution, which I loved a
lot. Overall, it's more lightweight than anything else they have done, which is not
necessarily a bad thing; but my first impression is that they are just doing the same thing
they've been doing for a while, but with less. The stripping down only occasionally seems to
reveal something new, but it's great when it does (like with "Bad Larry", which sounds oddly
like middle-era REM to me). It's great if you're already into space rock, but doesn't add
much for those that are less into the genre, or feel it becoming a bit oversaturated/stale.

I liked 'Dissolution' less than everyone else seems to because, outside of a few songs on that album, it felt a bit hodge-podge filler-y. This album cranks up the hodge-podge to quite an extent to where it sounds less like a cohesive attempt at some kind of artistic statement (a criticism which I don't think can be leveled at their first two LPs) and sounds more like a collection of random demo songs that some garage band has spliced together and called an album -- it's too full of weird curios and non sequitur stylistic discursions to ever build any kind of presence or momentum, and at 8 songs (there's 10 tracks but two of them, on Joy and [x] are 1-minute ambient filler tracks that unfortunately are also possibly my favorite, if only they'd been fleshed out further!) feels too fleeting to make much impact any way whatsoever. The songs don't lack merit and the album isn't without achievement, there are perhaps three really solid songs, but the work as a whole ends up feeling underwhelming and half-baked.
