I mostly agree with you. The one track that I disagree with you on is The Black Maria. I found this track to be a bit repetitive (imaging taking a shot every time Collin sings the lyrics "The Black Maria"), but beyond the repetition, I thought the story within the song was very intriguing and made me really lean into it. I'd give that track an 8/10. Also, the ambiance in the middle of Joan in the Garden is maddening. It wasn't interesting enough to keep me interested for the time it was asking me to stay engaged. Once I made it to the final movement of the song, I felt rewarded, but expected more.

Best of theirs in years. Great to hear from them again!
