I think there was a kind of intimacy to the first album that I miss in this one. As to the complexity of the new songs I feel that they seemed a little lost in the mixing. The opening track gives the impression that they were searching for something they weren't able to find and kept adding layers in the hope that maybe that's what was missing. In the end it just sounded incoherently muddied in my opinion.
