I didn't mean quality of song, but the kind of song - the SP epic.

Just thinking about all these chuggo songs have no subtlety to them.

The past 2.5 albums haven't had any, yeah. Not sure if he/they? have the chops to fill up 7+ minutes anymore, considering these 4 minute songs are already painfully repetitious.

this is the first thing they (emphasis on they, as you can't convince me James isn't having a positive impact) have put out since Zeitgeist where I would not have to apologize for putting it on in the presence of other people

I'm encouraged that his vocals in Beguiled are properly buried at least relative to Zwan-onward

Like if you're into Sabbath and Metallica this is honestly decent stuff. I'll take BUTT CHUGGING over 20 tracks of late-sounding Depeche Mode


The main question is whether they can match something like Gossamer or Jesus I/Mary Star of the Sea. Not expecting a Soma or a Porcelina but these people can do some cool stuff with guitars
