This one is nice. Got a mad Pachelbelly vibe, I really like the lyrics, have listened to it a few times. Reminds me of All The Young Dudes too, on anti-ds.

This one I'm not too keen on. Sounds like an Elton John B-side from about 1983, and not in a good way.
 
Finally got a proper listen to this today. I'm disappointed. A few of the tracks grabbed me but most of them just seemed like they were fucking around. They all sound pretty great, lots of nice studio trickery, lo-fi wobbliness and harmonies but seem like they were bits and pieces stuck together for a laugh. Only a few of the tracks worked for me and of them I'm not sure I like any as much as the best off the previous albums. I'll give it another go, it's got that glimmer of being a grower about it but I kinda felt like I wish I'd had a shotgun and been in the studio and told them to write some fucking songs and stop pricking about.
 
Reminds me of this similar monstrosity
