oh, i'm quite sure it is deliberate: and yes, i think you're probably right about what they're doing/aiming to do and the attitude with which they're going about it. watching them live, everything they did seemed quite studied, even their tooling about between synths (although they fucked up their back-projections something rotten) ... i guess what i mean is that they've put a lot of focus into sounding unfocused.
sadly, i think that's a mistake because all too often you end up with music that's entirely for the head and bypasses the heart completely. like i say: i get fleeting moments of connection from "the warning", but that's it.

Love love love this album still. What else do y'all think i should listen to if i likes this. And for whatever, the album never seems to end. which is a good thing right now.

Played it two weeks ago after a friend started to drunkenly mumble "(Just Like We) Break Down." It's held up fairly well, but I never thought it was the bees' knees either.

The Colours song is so good.
So good.
The rest is not quite that good, but still. I like the notion mentioned above that it's somewhat awkward and still crafted, but not in a self-conscious manner, at least not for me.

I just heard 'Over and Over' for the first time on speakers with proper bass, rather than my own tinny ones. I get it now.

'and i was a boy from school' is fantastic. most everything else i sort of half-liked then forgot about

actually 'look after me' is really nice. guess i prefer this band's more subdued numbers.

I think you'd like their version of Matthew Dear's Don & Sherri, which you can still hear here.
