I had very high expectations for this record. Their last release was a pleasant surprise and I couldn't wait to hear the band further develop their layered fuzzy pop. But instead they drop my favorite moments from '13 tales' in favor of more synth pop. The results are mixed. Some tracks are genuinely good while others fade in and out of the listeners ear, not making any sort of impression - just taking up space.
