There's moments on here and the instrumentation sure is gorgeous, but I'm completely over the super-theatrical/ overwrought direction a lot of these bands have taken lately.
Do yourself a favour and listen to Inside Out. If only for the visual of a man in highlander gear funking.
The list of contributors is more interesting than the majority of the tracks, making it feel overly long. Not the point of this album, I guess.
Overal still mostly enjoyable and for a good cause.
Listened to this as it was recommended by Spotify today. Easily the weakest in their discography imo. Completely defanged.
