still one song to go, but someone at some point described this as a Backspacer/Yield hybrid and that feels right (while still its own thing). For all the talk of heaviness this is a surprisingly light collection of songs. the dominant vibe seems to be joy

I am so glad the reviewers said so little about the best songs. This album is very very good.

I gave in for Wreckage (for now). It’s absolutely delightful.

The opening reminded me a bit of zombie by the cranberries. Could be the bass line?

Really like Setting Sun so far. Feels like a cousin to REM’s Beachball
