I've landed squarely in the "CT is garbage" camp, BUT the actual songs that were written in the 2013-2015 Cavallo sessions + 2017 are all songs that I like from the band. So even though I think the album itself is largely disappointing, I actually like the songs from this recent era.

I have a feeling that this upcoming album may be really really good. Post-Boyd, they are the happiest they've been since they all came together for BW, and Dave and Carter were able to craft these songs together in a "no pressure" environment where the music could develop naturally. Windows and Ocean and the Butterfly are new songs that I'm loving, and more songs from this session may be best we've heard in years. But production is everything for this band, so we'll see if Rob Evans can capture them at their best and how it sounds aesthetically.
