This album really disapointed me . I'm a huge fan of Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes and Return To Cookie Mountain, but I couldn't get into this one. I felt like they're always doing too much on it, like why do they always feel they need to go on with trumpets and violins and all? Minimalism suited them very well. And I felt vocal harmonies were so ordinary, it bored me. I think all tracks include very good elements (the rhythmics are all bloody excellent), but they're wasted by that "too much" feeling. There's only two tracks I can say I find really good: Love Dog and DLZ
