at least i think that's what the album is called. i have a burnt advance copy, so no titles or notes.
this was/is one of the most looked forward to albums of the year for me. i've given it a few thorough listens and this is what i think: it's ok. there is really nothing spectacular about it. the collaborations are interesting and they fit. nothing sounds forced like i thought there was a chance it might. but on the whole i think i'm a bit disappointed - mostly due to my high high expectations.
that said, there's nothing wrong with the album (except maybe for track 2). it flows pretty nicely and there are a few standout tracks. 7 in particular is awesome. think of a laptop beat driven album leaf song (like Malmo, for instance) with some sigur ros percussion blended in. VERY nice.
that's all for now.
