I will agree with the one review I saw that mentioned hoping for more guitar solos. Though I feel like the band is more about serving the song as a 6-piece at this point, and I really enjoy that too.

Thanks for the overview! Even though most of them are clearly written by long-time fans and I already heard 70 percent of the album, this made me quite excited.

This was discusse in another thread, and the writer of the review asked us not to share it online. So I think it would be a nice gesture to remove the link, even if your intentions was good!

Sure, I’ll kill the link. Sorry!

I’m pretty much useless at posting to message board on the phone, but I’ll try to get better along the way. Sorry, see ya!

Please take this down. I wrote that review. I am happy to post it in full, once the magazine has gone off sale. But writing about music is my full time job. I will not be able to earn a living if people decide that there is no need for them to pay to read anything. Once you take away the incentive to pay for music magazines, you take away the incentive for anyone to publish them.

Really nice to see Pitchfork landing on a 8.0. I don't think it matter as much as it once did, neither in the "indie world" or for the band, but after a series of really mediocre reviews, this feels good. Even as a fan, haha.
