Much criticism has been awarded this latest disc from the freshest ear in contemporary Pop/Rock. For those who feel this disc is a watered down derivative of Yorn's last album, and therefore not a progressive step, they are missing out on one of the sharpest pieces of music released this year. Interestingly enough, no one points out the constant retreads of critical darlings Weezer or Radiohead, but then again, Yorn just might not be weird enough to qualify as cool. Props to Yorn for making music that is listenable, vibrant, lyrically succinct, and melodically driven. Crystal Village and Come Back Home are highlights.
