Even though I love all the songs after these tracks (Don't Look Back and Lady Dynamite are in my top 5 of favourite R'n'Rc tracks). If course I cannot speak for others, but to me all the songs sound good, but as one album, it feels very slow and almost exhausting to listen to. Or I could better say: the flow is not 'flowy' enough. Does anyone else feel the same?
I get that feeling. It's like it's parts are greater than it's whole. It's more like a collection of songs than a cohesive album. I think people like the music but are disappointed in the delivery of the concept. Almost like how some people feel about Made In Japan.
