Fair point. In any case, I'd love an image of a forlorn looking McCockne$$ on the outside looking in of the same window NSW has so often peered through.
Or side-by-side. Similar to this:

I'm torn on that, I'm glad to finally hear it in full, but I don't love the changes they made, and I think there's too much going on in this version.
Maybe I just like pop music a lot, but I absolutely love everything about the production on this album. And for the record, I find it to be absolutely full of hooks. On my 4th listen and it's growing on me like crazy.
I think I'd be far more forgiving of the production if the pop hooks were there to go with it, but they're entirely absent.
No total clusterfucks like Stand Up Comedy or GOYB.
This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now 7/10

I disagree. Even the shittier songs have something catchy in them. No total clusterfucks like Stand Up Comedy or GOYB.

Man, I don't know. California is dreadful through and through. That's the only spot that struck me as a debacle, though.
So what does everyone think? After the first listen, tracks 6 - 11 were most memorable to me, the front half didn't make nearly as much of an impression on me, but I've learned not to trust my first instincts.
So no one else is feeling The Miracle? It's probably in my top three on the album after one listen. And Laz, I think Invisible would have fit very well between The Miracle and EBW.

Solid first half, great second half (Reminds of Reflektor a lot in a way). Danger Mouse should have produced the first 5 songs solo

I prefer it to EBW, which was clearly tinkered with far too long.
