"Old Hymns" sounds really good, but I lost interest after hearing the next couple songs.

feels somewhat of going through the motion, like the past few...but this is just an initial reaction. Hours is a classic.

great fucking record. really strong

Owls was cute.

Is it heavy?

first couple songs haven't captivated my attention

Was never a fan, and this isn't going to change that.

I thought it was great. Kind of a great return to form but also a progression.

They're kind of another one of those bands where you 'had to have been there' and liked them when they debuted (or at least by the time when Hours was released) to be into them today. I've always loved them though ?

This. I like the guitar work on this but I doubt they will ever top Hours.

I love this album.

I love everything this band has done. This is a return to form for those that missed the casually dressed era.

Yeah, I can definitely agree with that. I'd been following them since they released "Seven Ways..." and the last album I was really able to get into was "Hours". After that it seemed they kinda lost their touch. Memory and Humanity was great and all, but it still kinda lacked what a lot of people had first loved about the band. I've only heard a few tracks from the new record but from what I have heard it seems like this one i gonna be around the same lines.

Sounds like a good return to form, it lacks hooks though.
Matt had a stronger voice on Memory & Humanity and Your History Is Mine imo.
