It may be a different genre, but that doesn't justify the lack of growth. Gibbons still complains about the same things, and the music doesn't flow. It doesn't make sense. It builds an atmosphere, but atmosphere doesn't make a lackluster album great. It gives it a redeeming quality, but it's still lackluster. I would have forgiven Third if they hadn't been working on it for over a decade.
