I didn't really like Hidden that much despite really wanting to. I do think their change in direction is far more interesting and enjoyable and opens up huge possibilities of further directions for them. I actually like the sparse and loose percussion, it gives the album loads of space to breathe, however maybe a little bit more percussion on the tracks towards the end of the album might have kept it grounded a bit more.
The album reminds me a bit of the last two Talk Talk albums Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock in their sparseness, freedom and use of soft synths to create an ambient feel. Definitely one of the best of the year for me.
