For a change I think Pitchfork got their review right for this one. It's one of their weaker releases. That being said, it's not awful by any means. But it's just nowhere near the quality of songwriting and style as some of their other stuff. Overall I give it a B- probably.

No true audiophile would be using bluetooth speakers.  Some bi-wired Paradigm Monitors or Magnepan MG IIs is the way to go.

man, you guys
do you really think I have a 30K turntable with a 15k cartridge going into a $100 Bluetooth speaker?!

But I do like the new BandS album so far, been good listening whilst commuting round DC
first thing I've enjoyed from them since TBWTAS / TIJAMRS
