The only one this is better than is Shapes. It's a good record, certainly a worthy addition to the Polvo mythology. I think one of the problems with it though is that it sounds too well recorded. Those earlier records had a kind of ramshackle presence to them, and that really brought out the zaniness of the songs, and it really allowed them to go wherever they want. These songs just sound really contained, inside the box.
Still a good record though.
