Title: Takes major time to adjust to
Review: But it is quite imperfect. The tunes are blues-driven and okay, but rarely (except in Coma) are they inspired. So Stp make up for this the delivery right? Well, yes, the instrumentation is generally of a high quality, but there are still some awkward moments. I was cringeing as guitarwork at the end of the not-so-great Transmission from a loneely Room slowly faded out (and I hate fade-outs), only to hear it fade back in seconds later and finish later even more lamely. Geez. I like long metal songs, but Stp's bonking songs are just repetitive and exhausting, even if they are working with good material. Lyrically shangri is often excellent, sometimes even quotable (you know, "looking California, feeling Minnesota"). The change of pace towards the end of WOnderful is brilliant, Too Cool Queenie is epic and monstrous, Holywood and Days of the Week are great too. Enjoyable, but not a great step forward for mankind
