Title: recycled 80s sounds, yet better than the 1st time
Review: Right now I don't think this album is as good as their previous one, but maybe it will grow on me. "Fix You" and "White Shadows" are definitely my favorite songs. Most of the other songs you have to be in a mood for, and some towards the end I doubt will grow on me, like some of the songs on their previous albums. Then again, as both they and Radiohead have shown, sometimes a so-so song can sound incredible when performed live and can help you re-appreciate the song.I like "The Edge"-like guitar riffs, the electric organ mood, and Vangelis/Brian Eno kind of touches. The album almost seems like an homage to U2, Kraftwerk, etc. The drums are kind of weak though.
Is the review positive or negative?
