3.5/5 the first four songs* are just gorgeous, swelling, swirling wonders of texture and longing, reverb and atmosphere rising off like night heat. A really exciting new direction. Which makes the rest so disappointing -- aside from the only rocker (a pretty good one!) barging in at the 9 slot, it's mostly aimless and unmemorable. They seemed to know what to frontload, here's hoping this's a step towards a masterpiece
* the first four songs were great, full of harmonies and mystery, and everything that came after was a letdown? is this a concept album about TV on the Radio's career?
