i was one of the few who liked To the Five Boroughs, but it was clearly still a low point in their catalog. this is soooooo refreshing.

Listening to the full album and my enjoyment is kinda dependent on how long I can go without focusing on the lyrics (did you know these guys are crushing the competition?). Music's fun when it doesn't get too trudgy - def feels like a step up from 5 Boroughs.

This is a pretty good record, you know?

Way more interesting musically and with much better tunes than 5 Burroughs.
Totally in agreement. I ended up listening to it a lot over the course of 2011, and again over the last few days.

same here. The highlight is the 1:56 "Funky Donkey."

yeah, it's not amazing but it's a solid album. glad that to the 5 boroughs was not their swansong.

exactly, but outside of a few tracks not much I'd want to hear again

Lee Majors Come Again is killer

it disappointed me b/c I heard the awesome record store day single with those DJ Hero mixes with DJ Shadow and the Daft Punk samples and it briefly made me wonder if the new album was going to be a cut-n-scratch DJ thing, like a new Paul's Boutique
