Really feels like they just took all the safest songs from the album to release as singles (I still love 'Get Better' for its gut punch factor but it is a pretty simple ballad, 'U&ME' and 'The Actor' are both pretty good as well but nothing new from them, 'Hard Drive Gold' is still doing nothing for me), the album tracks are thankfully so much more inventive. 'Chicago' took such a swerve after the intro . 'Bane', 'Philadelphia' and 'Walk A Mile' are also strong immediate highlights. I think I like it a little more than 'RELAXER' overall though probably still not quite as much as their first two.

'Chicago' and 'Philadelphia' are both still great but 'Losing My Mind' has actually jumped out to be my favourite album track now! (meanwhile I think I was overrating 'Bane' and 'Walk A Mile' a little, though still enjoying them and 'Bane' definitely makes for an interesting opening track)
