Too mellow, nothing funky. I had to cue up "The Information" to see what "Modern Guilt" was missing. "We Dance Alone"? "Nausea"? "Cellphone's Dead"? Each song has more hook-y funk than all of the new album. It's like "Sea Change" with the edges rounded off of it. I blame Danger Mouse. I third your words.

This album was the only cd I had on vacation the other week, and as a result it played over and over and over in the car. I kept thinking it would grow on me, but all in all the album, IMHO, has provent to be nothing more than mediocre. Having said that, I do like Gamma Ray and Youthless :) Nice call on the Spoon reference to the title track, I totally hear it now that you say it. Very well put.
