After hearing the preview track, I admit my hopes were WAY up -- could this be another landmark comeback, like "Rust Never Sleeps" (1979) and "Freedom" (1989) and his string of classics from ten years ago ("Silver & Gold" and "Greendale" were my faves, but I guess the "Prairie" album was the big seller). . . . ?????
But first listening to the whole thing and I got that "a bit dull" vibe too. So glad to hear the "growing a great deal" bit . . . need to listen more obviously . . . think it's already a big step up from the "10 songs about my car" album though. :-)
It's a grower for sure, after initial listens the thing that stood out the most were a couple of really clunky lyrics and a feeling that he had done this a lot better on the Dead Man soundtrack. But listening more you start taking in the background and all the echoes, glitches and stutters, I'm glad I stuck with it, worth making that effort to take it all in.
