That seems like a fitting mockery of a Pitchfork dissection via the Mogwai crew. I haven't even listened to the album enough to get through the description of the first track, nor do I have the patience to do say at this hour.
You only have to go to the second paragraph on the first track:
Quote:
There is a yearning and loneliness in the track, which builds slowly and deliberately (albeit with more than an obvious nod in its introduction
toward The Cure’s 1980 single “A Forest”; this is most notable at 00:34,
00:51, 1:17 and 1:34 into the piece). It seems a sure bet that this
generally happy-go-lucky Scottish combo had to engage some serious soul
searching in order to come up with a title for the track that reflected the
heaviness and overall mood they were attempting to put forth. And, yes, they almost succeed.

As for the new album. I've listened to it twice thus far and like. I'm not wow/blown away by it, but have enjoyed each listen. The past two weeks I've been listening to most of my Mogwai collection gearing up to see them perform live this coming Wednesday. They're starting the US leg of their tour in support of the new album here in Portland.
