The acoustic guitar on the opener
The super-funny twenties piano song that follows it; Neil Hannon would be proud!
Vocal harmonies on “Small talk”
The chamber choir
Guitar solo on “Ignite”
Bassline on “Let the child be” as well as the horns and the digital piano
Doesn't that closing piano line on “Case of the mind” resurface later on Frownland?
Hate
Some of the singing is a little weak, a bit strained. Not really a “Hate”, but I thought I should have something in here, and it's hard to find anything to bitch about really.
End result: Not of course as good as Frownland (but then, it never was going to be, was it?) but still a very worthy effort and a good precursor to that album.
So, Love or Hate? Love, certainly.
Chances of a full review: 9/10

hell yeah! I knew you'd like it. And yeah we got better in every aspect of songwriting and production between that album and Frownland. I'm extremely interested now to hear your thoughts on the middle album which is by far the weirdest, but we'll save that for another time down the road
