Initial listen thoughts...

I thought it was pretty solid! I liked it a lot; there are many moments reminiscent of Facts and the Photo Album sprinkled throughout, and I think it does a good job blending that classic second-wave sound with their modern sound. I'm in the camp that loves it when the band experiment asymmetrical time-signatures and all. Also, the aggression some of these tracks bring out is something I've been longing for.

My favorite tracks: Punching the Flowers, I Built You a Tower A & B, Pep Talk, How Heavenly a State, Envy the Birds, The Flavor of Metal
