As I maintain, this sounds like a very different band than the one that did Heaven Up Here. The string arrangements and orchestration in general kinda sound kitschy when added to a new wave context, but I kind of like the "baroque pop for artschool goth kids" vibe it creates.
Yes, they got a bit 'sophisticated' on this one, but I like it too.

I find this underrated other than the hit single Lucky Man. It's probably more consistent than most of their classics in that while it doesn't have any ultra-ambitious 20-minute epics, there are no songs that feel like they could have been left off. Even the entire "classical music filtered through retro-futuristic 1970s rock" aesthetic is already in place.
