Parts of it seem really great, lush, seductive. But at times it seems like they aren't too sure of themselves, or are just kicking out generic Sonic jams. Like they are not sure what they are doing, and not in an interesting or inspiring way, more like a tired way, like they are tired.
As I say, first impressions, I do hope these will change. But certainly this record has made nowhere near the monumental impression on me that the likes of SYR3, 6 or 7 made upon me at first.
