There is nothing about CAS that I dislike. It is actually just perfectly nice. There are a couple great songs on there, but other than that there is nothing that I go back to. I don't think I've listened to the whole album in like 2.5 years. There isn't anything special to me about it like the previous 4 albums. Even OBTN has some songs on there that I just hate, but there are some truly special songs on that album. I think CAS might miss some of the quirkiness that other KOL albums had that made them unique. From the snippets here, I think some of the quirk is back. We shall see, though, where this one ends up ranking for me.

I see what you mean, maybe in the context of the other albums a new found love can arise you never know! Snippets sound really good!

Since it's only a few days anymore, I'm gonna hold out completely and not even listen to the snippets. I have Maida Vale & the iTunes gig to listen to anyway.

Thanks for sharing the snippets. Today is my first workday after a vacation and as soon as i noticed the snippets i couldn't wait to listen. Had to do it in the morning before i left the house. Now it's hard to wait another few days before i'll hold the album in my hands. Love all that i heard, esp. Family Tree and Beautiful War. Caleb's voice is awesome (love you, man <<<3)

Note I discuss some songs off the album in a general sense in this post. So potential spoilers
currently 3/4 of way through first listen. (wait for me playing as I write) (Potential spoiler) / (Discussion of song)
IMO too much of the mid-tempo songs of CAS feature on this album. Even Don't Matter seems over-produced and less edgy on the album in comparison to live. I had always held out that there would be a return of some up tempo fast rock on this album but for me its too much like U2 and very few songs stand out from the rest. Granted it is the first listen but I remember a distinctly familiar feeling when I listened to CAS the first time.
On a more positive note I do like Family Tree as it is something completely off the wall and almost Stevie Wonder Superstition-esque. I'll update here when i finish listening to album (6 songs to go) - haha i've just realised i haven't given this much of a chance yet to grow on me but anyway some initial thoughts...
sorry if this is in the wrong place

bobbyk I couldn't agree less with you. The first time I listened to CAS I felt unfulfilled but eventually grew on me. With free listening through MB for the first time it's exactly how I felt after listening to BOT or ASH. It's completely different from anything I've ever heard. There's songs on here that could be featured on any of their albums. My favorite part is that some sound like the aha shake b-sides. I am extremely pleased. Happy listening everyone! Hope y'all all enjoy it as much as I did.

I like the album a lot. It doesn't top the first three, but that is a pretty daunting task. It is a better overall album than OBTN, but I'm not sure the best songs here compete with the best on that album. Head and shoulders above CAS. More energy than the last two albums I think. My favorites of the songs we haven't heard are Rock City (pretty old school KOL), Comeback Story (actually reminds me of a Local Natives song and I love them), Tonight, and Coming Back Again (the one I've come back to the most). The one song I'm not really feeling is On The Chin.
Oh, pun not intended on my comment about Coming Back Again, lol.
