The album is growing on me too. I think it's more of a return to early 90s alternative rock. Like early Pavement with fuller guitar sounds (not single note playing) but mixed with unconventional, yet *consonant*(as opposed to the usual dissonant stuff you would expect from Sonic Youth) chords.
There is nothing radical or revolutionary, they're just good nostalgic songs. But it's not nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia. It's more like a nod of appreciation to the early 90's.
