To Be Kind is awesome. It stretches every concept to its limit and only lets go of it when it can't stretch anymore, when every possible corner of the concept has been explored.

I really like the post-rock/rock stuff coming out of the uk right now with bands like Black Midi and BCNR. Squid is one of these bands. The sound of this album is amazing and Narrator is one of my favourite songs of all time.

I do think the middle part of the album is a bit of a slump but it makes up for it with the last three songs.

I've never been a fan of classic rock so Flight b741 and this album haven't really stuck with me. but i do think this is a step up from Flight b741. The use of the orchestra in this album creates more depth than Flight b741 in songs like Lonely Cosmos and the song Phantom Island is one of the best songs they've made. But I'm still not the biggest of a fan of the overall sound of the album. Definitely fun but except for a few tracks not something special

Its fun for what it is but its not something more than that.
I do hope they do more like this like with Murder Of The Universe.
