i can't decide how i feel about this. on one hand they sound more mature, but on the other, they also seem kind of tired.

"parade" is quite possibly the most annoying thi?ng ever. i was excited upon hearing "the nocturnal house", but it seems like the rest of the first half kind of lacks. the second half picks up a little more, but still i don't think anything matches the mood of the opener.

i think i like it more than "the new romance" but far less than "good health" and the EP. i kind of figured they'd never make anything as solid as "good health" again. the sleeve is their best, though.

thoughts? comments?

It took me a few listens to get into it, really. None of the songs stood out very well to me (& the double track of 'Selling the Wind' Confused me to hell). I quite like 'Parade' and my favourite track on the album I think would be 'Domino'

But now I think it's really quite a good album allround.
I agree with you, It's better than the New Romance but no-where near as good as Good Health.
