Don't let that 0.8 score from Pitchfork put you off this album, this is one of their best. Some of their best pop songs are on this.

Represented a huge drop in quality from ...Sinister when it came out.

It's certainly not as good as the first two albums or the 97 EPs or This Is Just A Modern Rock Song, but it is very nice. The title track is one of my favorite B&S songs. Wonderful early morning music.

I love this band, but for whatever reason I could never fully embrace this album. I'd put it near the bottom of the list for them, although that has just as much to do with the extremely high quality of their overall discography. Still an album worth listening to if you're a fan of the genre.

It's a great record, Sleep the Clock Around and the title track are some.of their best songs. It's pretty diverse in mood and a pretty underrated album.
