I was really impressed with the three tracks that came out/leaked before the whole album leaked (Yonkers, Sandwitches, Tron Cat), and I wouldn't be surprised if Yonkers ends up being my favourite song of the year.
Goblin is easliy my favourite track out of the "new" ones. Amazing lyrics. Haunting production too. Nightmare and Golden are right up there too for the same reasons. The back-and-forth with the therapist on Golden in particular is awesome.
I thought the production was really good too, Transylvania (Left Brain) and She in particular, although I wouldn't say it's a major upgrade over Bastard if at all.
The thing is that the second half isn't nearly as good as the first half, and there are a few filler songs in there. With a 75 minute album that can be expected though.
Overall, great album.
