Okay I just listened through this again. In some places I really started to enjoy it, but for the most part, I found it bland at best, obnoxious at worst. For example, "Axons and Dendrittes" starts off amazing, and listening to it I was sure I was going to enjoy the album, but the vocals just comepletely blew it for me. It took the kind of elegance of the song and made it sound really juvenile and immature.
(Morays or) Demon was also pretty bad. The Vocals are I think my biggest problem with this record, actually. The chorus sounds like he is trying to do a bad Modest Mouse impression with out any of Brock's distinctive style or lyrical flair. The song itself builds well, but it doesn't go anywhere except the chorus, which, as I said, I found less than impressive.
Overall, the album sounds like they took a couple of really good QOTSA songs, stretched them out, took josh homme, shot him, and replaced him with a dude who couldn't sing nearly as well. I might give it another listen, to pinpoint songs I did like, but this wasn't my thing.
For the record, I typically really really like minimalist, droning stuff, which is why I was so disappointed in this record.
