It is over.
That was an odd album. It started off interesting then got boring then got interesting again then got boring again then got interesting again. Overall, it suffered from a lack of emotional commitment. I feel it would have worked better as an EP.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Their new stuff is a lot cleaner produced, and better for it,
The album was alright, but didn't quite grab me by the spheres,

The question is, do we really need a more arty September?

Good grief.
What to make of it.
50% dreary, 30% passable, 20% actually good.

I shall give it two stars, as two and a half isn't available as an option.

Blue, the album after this, seems to be more accessible scandi-pop.
Maybe we should have done that one?

In that case I shall stop dithering between 3 and 3.5 and give it the full 5. So that the cosmic force of justice can be served.

Reverb has a deadening effect.
That's why all of John Lennon's solo albums are boring.
