I like the direction they're going. They just don't understand exactly what they're doing. For instance, in Secret Door, whenever you change the groove of the song, you have to build it back up again, and humbug fails to do that correctly. So, they're jerking you around several sections and expecting you to cry at the end. I don't think so.

They need some polishing for sure, but it's good to see the band expanding a bit.

peace,

Like, have you ever heard the rumor that you can drop cash on the street in Tokyo and the people are so honest that someone will find it, pick it up, and take it to the cops? Well, that's absolutely 100% not true, because I once found a plain envelope on the ground with "6,000 yen" written on it. Inside was 6,000 yen. I put it in my pocket and kept walking.
