Rated 8/10

So... I think it's

...Good, but overrated. It sounds much different than Ants, which is more normal sounding art rock. While this is more like King Crimson in the Discipline to Perfect Pair era, very experimental and odd, in a good way, but yet again, overrated.

Experimental rock like this is not my style of music, but i can appreciate it for what it is, it's good, that's it.

The first half of the album drags it down, none of the songs come close to anything i've heard recently or Ants. But the second half, that's a whole different story.

Sunglasses beats out anything on Ants (except for TPWHITB). It's just so so so so so so so so good.
Track X is great, i think it's better than everything on the first half, but according to the scores no one thinks that.
Opus is great, but i don't think it's better that Sunglasses or X, it sounds like a better version of the really experimental almost spoken songs on the first half.

But overall, it's a good album at the least. At it's best, it's a near perfect album, but that's only one song (Sunglasses).

NEED TO HEAR RATING: DEFINITELY HEAR

Best song: Sunglasses
Worst song: Science Fair
Underrated: Track X
