I'm banking on the next album fulfilling Meloy's word: in a reddit AMA on r/indieheads, he suggested the next album's focus would be directed by the last song they'd written for the album previous; and he said the last song they wrote for I'll Be Your Girl was Rusalka Rusalka / Wild Rushes. If this is the case, I have my fingers crossed that we'll see the band return to their grandiose pieces from years previous (maybe with a glossier sound), which I am entirely on board with.

This band is an enigma. It's so readily apparent everything from the past 10 years sucks, but it's so hard to describe WHY it sucks, because their aesthetic has stayed the same. They have dropped some of my favorite albums of the 2000s, but now I don't even pay attention to a new release.

Their aesthetic staying the same is the answer! When a band starts repeating a formula, that magical x factor, which I think comes from the band being excited about what they're doing, goes away. There are a couple recent tracks where they did try something new though, and they're better for it (Once in My Life). Also The King is Dead falls within your 10 years but it rules :)

I'm really disappointed with this album even though I was not expecting much after the painfully average Severed. They're one of my favourites bands of the last 2 decades so the disappointment is real and sad. Rusalka / Wild Rushes is head and shoulders above the rest of the songs, it could be on any of their best albums and it wouldn't feel out of place.. but on this album it IS completely out of place. 5/10 at best, mostly because of Rusalka.

I could hear "Rusalka" in a loop for hours. Well, I actually did it. Dark, moody and powerful 2-sided piece with mythical creatures and drownings. What's not to love about it?

New album is good... but I find the focus on lyric repetition gets old quickly. Rusalka is a freaking masterpiece though.

Pretty good new release. For me it's better than The King is Dead and their first two albums, but it doesn't surpass the others yet. Favorite songs at the moment are Cutting Stone and Sucker's Prayer. There's something about Everything is Awful that reminds of They Might Be Giants. Mostly in how the verses are sung.

New album is a god damn masterpiece. First impression suggests it could be the best thing they've ever put out

Enjoyed the first listen. Probably will not beat The Crane Wife or The Hazards Of Love for me. But I already like it more than The King Is Dead which is my biggest disappointment.

Dig the enthusiasm, but there's no way this is better than The Crane Wife. I'm a big fan of the new album but We All Die Young becomes a Kidz Bop song halfway through and Tripping Along is pretty below average. That being said this is my favorite since Hazards of Love at least.

Agree 100%. IMHO "Rusalka" catches a great deal of "The Crane Wife"'s spirit and mood. Let's drink to it

Yeah spoke too soon with Crane Wife (and maybe Picaresque), but I love this album. Rusalka, Sucker's Prayer, OIML and Starwatcher are some of the best songs they've done in years imo, can't wait to see how they sound live.
