Have had the chance to listen through it a few times since it's release. I have to say, for a 16 year gap between albums, I really like it. Lots of versatility while maintaining the blissful yet groovy sound they're known for.

Album highlights for me:

Saturday Night Inside Out
Because I'm Me
Colours
Subways
If I Was A Folkstar

The Noisy Eater is a weird tune that I didn't like at first but it grew on me quickly.

It seems like Frankie Sinatra as the lead single killed it for some people

Didn't really like it at the first listening. Loved Frank Sinatra at first but I already grew tired of it.

I don't think any of their other songs come anywhere close to this

The first album is extremely solid

Very happy hearing that they released a second one and am excited to check it out

The full album has grown on me more with each listen. But yes, out of all the songs on the album Frankie Sinatra has faded the most for me with each listen.

Still absolutely love the full album as a whole, though. I think it will age very well.
