Reception
The album has been given particularly favourable reviews by critics,[2][3][4][5] many of whom consider it more melodic in texture than prior albums.[6][7]
The three interludes on the album were met with a generally more mixed reception;[8][9][10] "I"'s use of air horns has been singled out in particular due to their obscurity in the genre.[11]
