Most of their previous albums seem to have a theme that all songs on that album stuck to.

But if that's the case, why doesn't it sound more like a Matador record?
If it had some kind of S&E feel, I think it would work better, but the songs are SO precisely produced and so clean. It reminds me a bit of WM at times, Dirty at others...
Like i said, the songs are great. I love all of them.
However, does anyone else think that "Antenna" sounds kind of REM-y? I think the chorus is very reminiscent of that band's typical melodic leanings.
