in the sense that it's kind of their "Phrenology ".

10 yrs+ in the TMV odyssey we find the group reflexing all (or most of) the muscle fans have come to know and love, all while pushing forward with their own sound and style.

Hints of all the elements that hit or almost miss...but work,seem to be doing victory laps on the very modern/synth laced production. Some of the protools edits feel very "Teo Macero" the way they augment arrangements.

But honestly by the third listen, I'm hooked on these songs and each of their subtle little quirks that transcend them from modern rock cliche.

Gone are the Spanish-Psychedelia maraca & free jazz excursions.
Enter: shorter more accesible muscular epic weird songs about God knows what.
