The fourth Mazzy Star album (following a 17-year hiatus) I think could also fairly be called a not-forced sounding comeback.

yeah burma almost felt even more like an extension than a comeback, or maybe the album they were working on when they split, like it had some from Forget like "Playland" and "Hunt Again" and then Max Ernst

"It would be ridiculous if we were in it for the money because we spent every penny we made from the reformation gigs on the new album." Lol
They were GREAT at Roskilde last saturday. My back hurt so I left a bit early, but then they hit their final noisy climax at exactly the moment the sun came back out for the first time in four days, and it was magical.

Those ambient and more minimal techno influences are going to be stronger in the next record, plus Terry Reilly or Steve Reich-type minimalism.

I didn't like "Sugar For The Pill" when I heard it as a single but in the album it sounds fine. I've ended up really liking this album, it's sounded great on the stronger days of summer.
