Very dissapointing....runs very short and only 8 songs of which 2 songs are overplayed to me already (younger us and the house that heaven built). Too anthemy.....so boils down to a 6 song EP that can't come close to "Post Nothing" or "No Singles".......Guess there is still Cloud Nothings to fill the Japandroid sized void. |
It's starting to grow on me a bit more, but I agree my initial impression was "well I'm already familiar with two of these songs and they seem to be the highlights of the album".
But a few of the other tracks; The Nights of Wine And Roses, Fire's Highway & Continuous Thunder, all have their moments. Gonna give it another week or two before I pass final judgement. Post-Nothing had a similar ramp up for me as well, listened to it a few times I shelved it until my buddy kept raving about it and I gave it a second chance months later.
