any thoughts on the album from the staff? might be my most anticipated album this year. |
I'm not staff, but if you care about my opinion, it's good, but not quite at the band's potential. The production is super refined, and while it sometimes works in the band's favor ("Hold That Sound" and the song after it rules so much), it sometimes stifles their otherwise signature trait (raw emotion). I definitely don't like it as much as
Red Tree or
Happy, but it's still pretty solid overall.
