Totally agree, they're way too underappreciated.
The left turn they took on Bunny is amazing, like a lower-stakes version of the transformation Talk Talk took on Spirit of Eden. There's a willingness to embrace different textures and a looseness to the playing (without compromising composition) that totally works.
Carpet of Horses is a stunning statement of intent that really sets the tone for the record's textural highlights (Gauze, Nadia's Theme, Sad Cadillac). It's these detours that really puts into sharp focus the more propulsive highlights (Chain, Idiot Son, Oxtail). What a journey!

This is a really good way to describe Red Red Meat, and something I had never considered before.
