I like the word "efficient" for this record. When I heard the title track; I thought immediately "this is no slop, here". Even some of the greatest bands develop some sloppy habits after 20-30 years at or near the top; they're either doing fanservice, or they lose all perspective and try and turn themselves into something they ain't, just to not get bored.
PJ did neither here; they sound like themselves without pandering to who they used to be (or who used to love them). Quite an achievement.
Okay you convinced me to give it a listen. Listened to "Wreckage " today and liked it way more than the other singles, though if it's supposed to be the highlight, I hope the rest is somewhere in between..

Really looking forward to listening to it tonight! Thanks for the honest review.
