It’s not a mess, but neither is it a good album. Nice? Yes, maybe. I’d say ‘nice’ captures it perfectly. With 'The Empire' you showed what you truly are: rich, accomplished forty-year-olds, thinking about their own backyard.

A pleasant mediocrity is quickly apparent, there’s artisanal passion but it could use a pinch of salt, genius, a bit more spirit. The drummer really holds back... making it melodically rich but terribly disjointed, lacking swing.
