And he doesn't sound like he's tripping over himself with the recent word salad style either. Nice.
I'm sure there will be a few where he does that though...
I love what they are trying to do with the whole narrative arc over 33 songs. Whether or not they succeed, i don't know - but I absolutely love that they are trying to do this.
There's stuff in these new tracks that hit the spot. Some stuff niggles, of course. But overall, I feel really lucky to be enjoying.
I understand it might not float everyone's boat, but some of the criticism / cynicism around some aspects of this from some here is baffling.
Honestly, if you are not hearing stuff in these 5 or 6 tracks or so that you dig, I just don't even know what you liked about them before, because, for me at least, the core components of what I used to find enjoyable about these guys seems present and correct, to greater and lesser degrees across each track.
I would, like anyone, like to have my socks completely knocked off and i'm absolutely not there yet... But we can live in hope. At least for another few months!
