Okay so far so good, some guy talking ominously about the origin of man in a lizard-alien species and the Garden of Eden and crazy shit.

The first track, Firewall, is actually pretty decent. Slow buildup, some cool atmospheric things going on. I dig it.

One minute into the boring intro to Shell Games and BOOM, synths and tims, all 80's.

Oh Jesus, that song really doesn't improve. Oberst's quavery voice makes him sound like a zitty 17 year old being forced to do karaoke to Modern English.

"Now you are / how you were / when you were / real"
Now this sounds like the Conor Oberst I know...

More samples on "Approximate Sunlight," probably the only redeeming feature of this album so far. Song still sucks.
