Nothing is quite as momentous as earlier A-sides like "Hold On" or "I Will Come Back," but the songs are more finely detailed and developed.
Cheap words sound like a million bucks with enough vision behind them, but Holy Ghost!'s unfocused attention is so divided between a bunch of new musical ideas that getting something to click on all fronts is a rare occurrence.
Holy Ghost!’s lack of specificity and fixation with ’80s gloss have worked against them. Nostalgia bit them in the ass. Sure, you can dance to Dynamics. But that’s about it.
