Ok, it's been a while now. What do we think ?

Underwhelmed I think is the word to use.

Nothing new or exciting, not even their best work imo, sounds like a collection of B-sides, if I had to say something positive, it'd be I like how they have made some of the lyrics/words into musical notes, like on Father and Son as posted above.

I'm the opposite tbh mate, I think it just gets better and better with each listen

 

[The_Visitors]

I like it a lot, best album they have done since Geogaddi and a huge improvement on Tomorrow's Harvest

I'm torn....It's been my dog walking music the last week, and think my opinion changes each time I listen.

But, I don't think I love it as much as I'd hoped - sometimes it's like the song is just getting going, and it ends (eg Age of Capricorn)

Also reminds me a of Death in Vegas and Unkle for some reason in places....vocals are a bit Public Service Broadcasting too.....or maybe all of those are a bit BOC!

Feels like a Fillum soundtrack....Ahh...ah dinnar!

I think it’s pretty superb. Gets better each time

I love it. Took a couple of listens to really grow on me though.
'Father and Son' is still spooking me out.
I love every album apart from The Campfire Headphase.

 

[Balti Man]

Saw thread title and was expecting pictures of Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, Alanis Morrisette, Celine Dion and Katherine Ryan.

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

Absolutely love it. One of the things I noticed is on the credits only one of the brothers wrote all the songs - not something I've noticed before.

I'm enjoying it, the high points are very high. It's kind of like a missing link between Geogaddi and Campfire Headphase
