I didn't mean to imply that I don't like the Islands' new record. It's just that the Unicorns were so amazing. They were great because they weren't epic. It wasn't this attempt at making some high-brow artistic statement. It was just incredibly fun and inventive pop music. Genius.
The first 7 songs on Return to the Sea are solid. "Rough Gem"(one of those Unicorn-esque songs) is probably my favorite song. But it loses steam towards the end, and the last few songs are pretty boring.
