It's very, very Trent, but I think there's still plenty of Saul all over it. I would have been curious to see if he could've progressed to something similar on his own, but I don't know that he would of. I think this bodes well for his next work, too - hopefully he'll have learned some new tricks from Trent and take those in his own direction.

But there are some gems on there: I'm especially enthralled with "Black History Month". Respect to the "Radiohead model" of distribution, too.

For some reason, I was expecting Sunday Bloody Sunday to go in a different direction, but for the most part, it remained close the original. I do like Convict Colony, but since I haven't given the entire album a spin, I'm sure there are other songs I'm going to warm up to.
