Surprisingly listenable. Not surprisingly great.
Song two onwards is a clinic. The arrangement builds without you noticing it building, which is the hardest trick in the book. I haven't been able to stop revisiting the bridge on the title track.
Pacing is the real story here. The first three cuts feel like the band still finding the room, then it locks in and doesn't let go until the closer. The mix prioritises bottom end and it's all the better for it.
