It just didn't seem to gel at first with me.....but now I love it....

It's definitely their "Kid A" in terms of development....

I thought it had something Coldplayish about MMJ at first listen, man was I wrong!

That's me. Confirmed fan and I have to say I pretty much hate this record so far. It's starting to grow on me with repeated listens but at first I rated it suck.

Big disappointment after It Still Moves. I'm still gonna go see them live next month.

I've heard mmj and liked their songs, but the fact that everything is drenched in reverb renders them unlistenable to me. I just can't get past it. It seems like a silly thing. Like an excuse for production. Hard to listen to. Does this album have the same issue?

F-ing unreal. Different but unreal. Lots of it was a surprise b/c they never played more than 1 or 2 from it on their last tour.
