Gah, wanted to super love this but I don't hate it but don't love it. Just finished my first listen, hope it's a grower. I really don't understand the MICF comparison they kept drawing.

I haven't heard it yet but they weren't using the MICF comparison in terms of sound/style...pretty sure it was in reference to how the songs came together and were recorded quickly..?

I'd say it all really clicked for me on the third listen. Second half is the stronger one for me, only real weaker point in album is Little Help into I Can't Believe. One of their best records, probably since like Crimson/GM era. I also do not really get what they mean by the record sounding like MICF BUT what they probably mean is it was recorded in a similar fashion, I think I read somewhere that they wrote and recorded that record in a super short amount of time and I think the same thing happened here, just the guys in a room writing for a chunk of time and then putting it to tape immediately. 

I love this record.

Bone/black split. 

That’s the UK/EU indies exclusive. Lost Crimes has it listed earlier in the thread.
