  1. I was going to buy their new album, but maybe not.

  2. probably sucks

  3. I listened to the first track but had to go do stuff. I didn’t have 70 minutes of free time to listen to the whole album.

    My favorite review so far is from a user on metacritic:

    "Does what was, in theory, impossible: makes ‘Frances The Mute’ look good. FTM sucked, but at least it was exciting. Here, TMV spends most of their time showing off. Think ‘Miranda That Ghost Just Isn’t Holy Anymore’ (track 4 of FTM). Now, think of multiple tracks that sound like it. Like I said about FTM, TMV are talented; they’re just terrible at writing songs. ‘Meccamputechture’ and ‘Vicera Eyes’ are passable, but the rest of the songs needed somebody to run into the studio and yell, ‘What the hell is wrong with you idiots?’"

  4. Yea, I am not a big fan. I thought I was ok, nothing I would run out and buy though.
