The reviews have been mixed so far, but most of the negative reviewers are simply miffed that it isn't "groundbreaking," while PopMatters called it, "a Celebration of Contemplative Slowness." That's fine by me - I'll happily take another double-LP of The Pearl or Apollo.
A few tracks in... I'm digging it.

You know, this might be a grower but I kind of doubt it. The songs do rely on melodic themes and I don’t think they’re very engaging, frankly.
