Definitely better on the second half, especially on the last three tracks. Not to say that I completely dislike the first half; "Morning Mr. Magpie" was the track that originally drew me in, but I quickly found better tunes along the way.

It's good and all, and I'm glad it's not being treated as a Godly-all-knowing-BEST OF 2011/THE DECADE SO FAR album by too many people, because it really doesn't sound it was intended to act that way. Sounds more like music by a group that has found a temporary niche and is doing a good job of hanging around there. Really influenced, interesting and (for the most part) uncompromising. Like the theory holds, it could just be half of the whole picture, so there may be more to understand about them in this frame of mind soon enough.
