Anyone heard this yet?
I'm still digesting it in the sense that each listen is getting better. They were already strong but they raised the bar by a lot here. They drove the silence and subtlety power a lot farther than they have maybe since their first album (this is their fifth). It's a lot less clubby than the last three and there's a definite apocalyptic energy brooding in the background, they've played with that before but it really hit home on almost every track this time.
