Absolutely ridiculously wonderful good, so emotionally affecting and beautiful and it sounds like a HUGE forward leap from their earlier stuff, like they've suddenly got a far greater command of their instruments and the craft of songwriting. It's both simultaneously pop and experimental, the production is lush and slick but never feels overbearing and the range of moods is fantastic, it goes from reminding me of Patrick Wolf's Wind In The Wires to being sugar-drenched skinny white girl hip-hop.
