As of this album, at least one of the singers in this band has finally become a proper diva. In the good sense! The lead vocals are consistently very strong (whereas on past albums one can hear the singers still building confidence and finding their way, albeit beautifully), and the wonderful tapdancing etc. energy and background eclecticism are still around as always. But now the group as a whole, too, has made a transition: Their songwriting has caught up to, and even surpassed, their emotional presence. The songs "Cacophony", "Chandelier Lake", and "Falling Without Knowing" are just masterpieces. Such rich harmonies!
That emotional presence, the star of their prior album Bottoms of Barrels, has suffered a bit--some of the songs on this album trade in the old, romantic earnestness for a sort of disinterested bitchiness that is rather less special. But this new feeling is delivered playfully enough that it doesn't offend (not this listener, anyway). In fact in the closing song it's whipped into a crackle of electricity, glorious and brief.
Also, my copy came with a "Shrinky Dink"-type insert as its one-of-a-kind handmade artwork or whatever. This object is useless and has little to do with the music, but I found it adorable. :)
