maybe I just don't like a magazine like nme talking unintelligently about a band I love so much.

if you really listen to EVOL and BMR and CIS there are NO standard song structures. songs build with no verses, songs have no choruses, songs meander and stop, songs fade away like feedback squalor
SISTER is the one where they grafted their pop sensibilities full on onto their music.
