Plus, the sound is more focused this way, and I think that's working great as the experience isn't as exhausting and feels more cohesive as well as a more thoughtful project.

That said, I'm gonna go check out the full second album now. I may find myself wrong here, I've heard it was a great next step after their first one, which was masterful itself.
You just made me realize how to explain how I feel. Their first two records are completely unrestrained, adding little boops and bops and glitchy techno which would come completely out of nowhere. III goes for the more generic techno route. Repetitive beats and songs that get tedious after a few listens. Sorta makes me dread how their next album will sound like.
