No complaints of price or amount of material from me. I know I'd accept such thing pretty much from any favorite band anyways. But what I'd complain is just that sounds are almost exclusively pretty crap. Vocals are good as always, but despite great work on mastering/cutting vinyl, the actual sound work is so "computer generated" sounding, occasionally almost like 8bit nintendo electronics?! When things get layered more, it's better. Gets closer to previous albums, but without sounding at all the time-stretch whitehouse kind of stuff. One track with some vocal effects perhaps the best here. But I'd say indeed about half of material here would qualify as sort of electro-beat music. Listened this 3 times now, and thinking that maybe once more, from the CD that was included. To hear if there is any signifant difference.
I have feeling, that this type of sound has quite firm divisions of lovers and haters. That latters ones will not be able to listen "songs" after they encourter the sound what appers dull and silly.
Structure, composition, pacing of sounds and vocals, energy of vocals etc. that all I do like, but this sound style is something I know I most likely won't get over. In live situation, with enough rawness from speakers... I can see I'd like the tracks to certain extent.
