I don't mind hearing Olof's self-gratification because he usually jerks it skillfully. But I'm partial to the poppier parts, and there's enough of those here that I think I like this may be my favorite of their albums.
Been listening to this more lately and I kinda disagree with myself. I like the long track. I very much like the whole album. Glad to see I gave this a 4/5 because I totally agree with that.
