Sublime? The Sprawl was influenced by Neuromancer, just as Pattern Recognition was influenced by the eponymous book. The album definitely sets a mood, from start to finish, moved along by the ever-so-punk guitars, crashing and swirling endlessly. The only respite is Providence and it's eerie, fuzzed-out dreamlike quality only adds to the album's atmosphere. At the very least, this is a very, cohesive, well-made, well thought out album.

Of course, on the other hand, maybe SY shits stuff like this... It's still good though...
