So good. While I love the ambient stuff, I don't miss it on the album (plus, it's not hard to have a separate playlist of those tracks - I just hope they do more EPs rather than go entirely in the direction of the album).

Really coming around to the rerecorded "Sex" - the mushy quality is right for the album, and I love the lip-quivering softness of "hhhhow" in the opening "And this is how it starts..."

In fact from now on maybe I will just conduct all conversations about these albums via LINE.
Really coming around to the rerecorded "Sex"
i think i like it better now; it's probably just the way they produced it but it seems brighter and more energetic

Funny thread!
I think I would end up liking these guys a lot if they were played on the radio all the time
