It’s a good review but I don’t think it does the album much justice. You obviously love the record, as do most people who come in contact with it, but the problem is that you don’t say much about the album itself. All you seem to say is that it’s not too different from “Shut Up I Am Dreaming…” and “Apologies to the Queen Mary,” but I find it to be drastically different in many, many ways. It’s nice when reviewers inject their relationship with a record into their work, but if that’s all there is, it leaves the reader with confusion and any questions unanswered. This seems to be a big problem with reviews (for example, ANY pitchfork review). I think the point IS how it sounds. There are countless layers, instruments, synthesizers, vocal tracks, segues, key-changes, repeated themes, revisited lyrics, styles, approaches, and surprises. That is the magic of the album. Krug combines so many elements to create a thick and beautifully dense work of art that forces the listener to participate and react.
