Meh, it's alright and some of the melodies/production is pretty cool but what gives? Have of the songs barely have discernable beat, words, or even melody. Atmospherically a bit pleasing but I can't see this being considered the best album of 2009 by any stretch. Then again I'm not the biggest indie fan ever... I tend to prefer music with a steady rhythm, bassline, big chorus, etc.

Overall I appreciate them doing something different but for me it's like C to C+ album
It gets better with each listen. I couldn't stand it at first.. then I got into it and then got into some of their older stuff as well. Give it time and it should be a B+ at least. (Although I don't really get the A B C way of grading, I use numbers.)
