I am on my second listen and it’s about what I expected. A couple good songs, but overall, a disappointment and continued departure from the sound I liked about this band on the first two albums.
For me the highlights are the first song, See You Through My Eyes (which seems like it could be written about Josiah) and Saving Grace, which feels reminiscent of their early albums. The last song, Glory of Music, is very stripped down acoustic, which I enjoyed too.
I understand bands evolved, but this band’s departure from its earlier days and songwriting is a big bummer to me. They used to be one of my absolute favorite bands. I can still play the self-titled album and Let’s Be Still on repeat with no skips, but save a couple songs, the last two albums are just so generic and bland IMO.
