It's weird how all the people who really were vocal about hating it have vacated the board, and how most of the newer crop seem to really like it.
I think it's alright, but nowhere in league with Nurse, which I absolutely love. I think they were trying too hard to leave Geffen with a suprisingly commercial album, and I hope they got that out of their system.
My favorite track by far was "Or", which is nothing like the rest of the record. "Pink Steam" is good too, but a bit on the Thurston pop song formula tip. It's a formula I love, but I'd prefer to see them stretch out a bit again. I look forward to the Matador record.
