It may be hard to separate THE from that other band, so let's get that out of the way right now: This is that other band if they had stayed the course they originally set.
I like it better.
The sound is old Gothenberg, but incredibly clean and slick. Not fake slick, these guys are so locked in that they just sound THAT good, see the rooftop concert if you have doubts.
The lyrics hit me head on, and I love that. They are very personal.
