They've also sorted out the dry vocal issue that was on the previously released version of Kill For Love (the song)

Definitely worth waiting for, it's been months since I've just sat there and listened to an album this long (~90 minutes right?) without getting distracted

I wanna hear the stabs from A Matter of Time forever

hell yeah. such a long, drifting album, this is really excellent.

was hoping they had it in them. half of what made Night Drive impressive was the stylistic shift. they'd lead up to it with a number of singles, but I mean it's hard not to see the album as minimal almost to the point of slightness -- editing themselves down too carefully, not taking enough chances. this completes their transformation.
Awkward is a good word to say something about the critical situations which implies a strong feeling for anything.

Glass Candy's B/E/A/T/B/O/X and the Italians Do It Better - After Dark comp are probably the best places to start

Some personal favorites from that label:

glad i switched to headphones after the first three tracks. the bass with my sub was great but the panning on lady is even better.

did not expect to like this a lot because in general i'm a much bigger fan of their older stuff but this album is really really great.
the only thing that annoys the shit out of me is the use of autotune/vocoder in some of the songs.

i was a little questionable about the auto tune thing too, but after a few listens it totally fits right in

really like how there's a bit of a horror movie genre vibe incorporated into it at times too

Hotlinking from blogspot never works, but,

They're pretty consistent with building some sort of exploitation/grindhouse atmosphere.

what's the deal with this? is it legitimate or just auxiliary media to go along with the album
