From the very first issue there´s a feel of renewal. It's Working has a changing shape, and with an attractive variety of textures and intensity, escapes from any kind of structure. It´s impossible to distinguish between verses or choruses, there´re only musical passages that bind each other. It sounds very much like the B side of Oracular Spectacular, Metanoia, mostly because of the changes that appear through the melody. This resource is repeated in the captivating Flash Delirium and in Siberian Breaks, an ecstasy of twelve minutes that for some moments sounds electrifying but during other ones falls a bit.
All the album is an unit and that explains why they decided not to publish singles. Songs reach complete sense when they´re are played one after the other. For example, I Found a Whistle, a spectacular cosmic ballad counteracts the Flash Delirium explosive ending, and that lysergic seesaw of feelings is the main attraction of Congratulations.
"We're never going to be like The Rolling Stones," said once the duo and that is what we make clear here. Where´s the difference? They aborted the easiest option -start writing for the audience- and preferred to continue doing it for them. It´s clear that they didn´t feel very comfortable with that style of life they imagined in Time To Pretend. At the end, Congratulations, one of the most beautiful songs, expresses that disagreement with an emotional letter. The title, that word they listened so many times, is rhetorical. Yes, self-congratulations. Not for the previous success, but for what they have just achieved: a self-sizes album that makes clear that in adfition to good taste they have lot of versatility. Congratulations for them!
