The song builds to a chant of 'Better Nature' (at which point a certain amount of listeners would applaud and leave) but it doesn't seem to make any sense in the context of the song.Ĭonnection, Pins and Needles, Friendly Fires Altogether the guitar is carrying this song with a nice riff to introduce and later a cool solo while everything else was just being thrown at the speaker. For comparison's sake Neck of the Woods' opener Skin Graph takes 83 seconds whereas Cradle takes a mere 21 seconds. The intro to the opener I think epitomises how this album misses the mark compared to Neck of the Woods, it feels hurried and almost done by checklist. In this case I'm not sure it would have made much difference, I get the feeling they released Nightlight and Circadian Rhythm because they knew they were the better tracks on the album, and it wouldn't surprise me if they were written earlier.

I've had a practice in the past of avoiding listening to any new songs from a band until I can hear it with the rest of an album, so that it doesn't stand out because of my memory rather than its own merit. However on the first few listens I have to say I was underwhelmed, nothing leapt out like it had done with previous releases. Following on from most of their recent work I had very high hopes Neck of the Woods I called a masterpiece when I reviewed it three years ago, Cannibal was a concise anthem, Nightlight and Circadian Rhythm seemed interesting enough.

I've been procrastinating writing this review of the latest SSPU album, and that's mainly because I'm struggling to know how to feel about it.
