Overview:

With glimpses of gold but descents of confusion. This album is full of surprises.

Tracklist:
Iddy Biddy - This song grows on you the more you listen. Where should i start? How about the tremendous introduction that makes you reminisce to their very first self titled EP! Or the extravently memorable chorus that'll have you howling the lyrics. From start to finish, it is insanely preposterous in the best way possible.
Quixotica - A similar introduction to "Iddy Biddy" but uniquely positively ostracised from the rest. A dirty rock-n-roll chorus with an edgy 3rd verse breakdown including poetically persuasive and witty lyrics will have you marvelling over the brilliance.

Thought Criminal - An "In Love And Death" taste was not enough to keep this song afloat. Bert McCrackens voice does not suit the dramatic ballad type nature in the slightest. The older you get, the richer the voice is certainly not present here.

The Ocean Of The Sky - An almost recycled introduction from "Artwork", it struggles to explore creativeness. Experimenting with technical sounds also did not play out well. What could have been unique, turned into cheap, bleak and a waste of time. But the grungy instruments make for a much needed adrenaline rush.

Tethys - I do not know why this is on here or what the point of it is but it's ridiculously deficient and unnecessary. So much talent is wasted on this confusement of a song. Extremely disappointing is all that can be said.
