am I the only person in the world who thinks its a total flop? Hooks are predictable where there is any.
Neon Bible - this song sounds like a mediocre 'Kettles"', no emotion
Black Waves/Bad Vibrations - worst song(s) on album. Bad Vibrations has some Bad lyrics.
Keep The Car Running - best song on album, still nothing like any of the Neighbourhoods.
No Cars Go - 2nd best song on album, but written like 5 years ago, kind of disheartening.
Black Mirror - low grumble - kind of boring. doesn't have much of a drive to be an opener. Plus if you replace every time he says 'Black Mirror' with Jack Sparrow it becomes the crappy pirate anthem i imagined first time i heard it.
maybe I just don't get the whole dark 'reverb by the ocean' thing. The instruments just sound like they're not their.. and not in a cool way IMO. Any other opinions?
