The album is way better than I expected and the songs do grow on you if you give them time. Reminds me why I started listening to the band in the first place. Apart from "Thought I Knew" and "Cold Dark World", which I think are rather mediocre, I have absolutely no complaints. Dreamin' and TGMTEL are fucking great and The Angel and The One closes the album perfectly.
+Troublemaker and Everybody Get Dangerous would make fine singles one day.
As far as I'm concerned, they just released their third best album. Nice to see them doing their thing without forcing a hit formula. Lessons learned from Make Believe.
