These guys never fail to amaze me. They get a bit crazier and more creative with each cd, and with this one and Diorama I was a bit like, "What the hell..?" but if you forget what you hear everyday on top 40 radio and sit back and really listen to it and pay attention to what was put into it, you'll realize how amazing it is and how hard they worked to create something they love. Daniel, Ben and Chris have grown up and their taste in music has evolved. It might not be what you're used to, but that's what great music is about. I love this cd and I love this band. End of.
