So an album coming after Air was gonna be tough since it was an album that helped me during a real depressing time, this album actually takes ideas used for Air and throws it away but replacing it with newer ideas and songwriting that works just as well in it's place. There are tracks that pick up like those on Air do, but this also has a lot more fresher takes from the band. You can easily hear a lot more influences from Mew here than you have previously. Really solid stuff.
