My copy is on its way to me. From what I've heard in clips it sounds like this may be closer to Waiting For The Punchline than anything before it, which is fine.

III Sides is still their masterpiece IMO.

All of the songs were up on Youtube if you don't want to wait.

I was hoping that the new album would expand and evolve from that point. Does seem like their sound is much more a mix of Waiting for the Punchline and some of their solo stuff now though.
