Patchwork & Standby

What happened in this record? It started so well in the first 3 songs, but then it fell off of a cliff for me. No other song felt compelling enough to actually come back to. Their signature sound feels lost in some of these songs. If its experimentation, in my opinion, it failed. If its a new direction for them, im not really onboard with it. Overall, i think it ends up being just fine. Just "Puppet Master" came out to be a real banger here!
