Title: Hopeful
Product review: Amazing. And yet lacking. If you could take where they went with their Self-Titled CD, throw in some White Pony Quirks (Especially on Beware, simply the best track on the album), and mix in some of Chino's left over ideas from Team Sleep, you'd have an idea about this album.On a few songs, Chino's "offset" lyrics seem to get a little TOO offset, and the off-rhythm or whatever he does that is so gorgeous seems to be lacking a bit.In my personal opinion, not quite as amazing as White Pony, but definately a step ahead of their self-titled, I think we are only seeing the beginning of the evolution of their sound into something that is just short of bliss.If the guys ever top White Pony, people will be dropping to their knees and weeping at the sound for its sheer beauty. This album shows that they are headed there, but not quite at the peak.Just my opinion though.
