In comparison, it feels to me that SM are trying -and playing - too hard on this album.
None the less, their instruments still have that special, unmistakable sound and Kings and Queens is a good track, so I`m going with a vote of "Good".
Besides having listened to it all the way through, this is more or less how I felt about it. I don't normally have those feelings but the songs don't really stand out for me as enjoyable (yet). I may pluck tracks from it but I'm not really a fan of the album as a whole. It was good.

Teeth has especially sunk in ... pun intended.
