So, DeVotchKa is a great band. "How It Ends" is one of my favorite albums, it really never gets boring to me. Every song has a hook that makes you want to hear it again and again and whatnot.
HOWEVER, their new album, "A Mad and Faithful Telling", which technically comes out tomorrow, but leaked some time ago, doesn't seem to be like that. It's actually kind of boring. I mean, it has some good songs ("Transliterator" comes to mind) but it really seems to pale in comparison to "How It Ends". There don't seem to be any real standout tracks, and I'm disappointed.
Has anybody else noticed this? Maybe I just need to listen to this album a few more times for it to sink in.
