softer tracks break up the heaviness.
"Sticks Not Twigs," a slow acoustic number with some xylophone stuff; this track works much better than their earlier attempts at #SlowAndHeartfelt. "Dead at the Wheel" uses an odd feedback loop as more of a #MoodSetter than a song i would voluntarily listen to.

the #Pavement comparison comes from #PrettyMuchJust one track, "What Have You Done For Me" which manages to sound like an early Crooked Rain b-side or solo Malkmus
