So after giving the album a few good, attentive listens, I can see that there's a lot more going on then what is immediately noticeable on the surface. It is a deceptively dark album and musically, really reflects a lot of the struggle and disappointment of its prevalent theme. I can definitely respect the album as a work of art. I don't know if that makes me want to put it in max rotation on my playlist, but my opinion of The Suburbs has improved dramatically.
