This is dissapointing in a sense, I love their first two albums a lot but this album is missing the charisma and qualitiesand brightness that make those albums loveable. It still sounds like The Drums but a little darker and more etherial which oddly enough waters down their material on this release. It aint bad but little is memorable when they slow it down on this album. Hope the others are a little better again.

“Guys what if we do the same thing we’ve been doing these last few albums but more redundant and repetitive “

There Is Nothing Left and Wild Geese are definitely some of the band's best songs.

Something about bell laboratories is so special to me, I genuinely can't explain the feeling I get while listening to it.
