The drums are mixed flat and dry and it's the best decision on the record. Modern drums are too compressed to swing — these breathe. Track 6 is a masterclass in pocket.
Ambitious arrangement throughout. The strings on the back half could've felt overwrought but the producer sits them low enough that the vocal still leads. Reminds me of mid-period Talk Talk if you squint.
GENIUS. SHEER GENIUS. that's it that's the review
rock and roll is back on the menu boys
