I almost agree with you. I flip in and out of wanting more of what you described, but then losing my mind over how amazing and heartbreaking and subdued the last four songs are. I went back and listened to Romance after a long time with Hello Sadness, and it does definitely miss the energy. But damn it, those last four songs... 'Death Rattle' is definitely one of their best.

P.s. Really great review Jeremy. Hit the nail on the head for me.
