i agree it's a totally safe record but despite the lack of noise etc.. i'm merely judging it by whether i enjoy the listening experience, not whether it means something or if it moves me.

by being able to write this records though, it does show they can write pop hooks which is just as valid as being able to write a fucked up experimental piece that lasts. writing hooks is a talent and hooks is what grabs ya!

i just happen to have a real thing for their laid back california (if neil young were young these days) kind of approach. like, i'm a sucker for the 'middle 8' in pacific coast highway song you know?

It does not excite me.

I give it a solid "Meh".
