I have to say that I am in agreement with the "blurriness" factor. I also feel that the band is NOT the same with Steve. Is that a good thing or a bad thing ?? The choice is yours to make.
There is a lot to be said for the group as a whole, which includes Steve. I thought Umbrella and Glow are two of the most amazing albums ever made. Cohesive, creative, expressive, melancholy .. yet hopeful !! I enjoyed Small Planes and Birds - but to me, there seems to "something" missing. That said, I still love this band with all of my heart because of all they have meant to both me and my wife.

Small Planes had this problem outside of "Too Early to Say". I was hoping for the return of Steve and a producer. I love the band, but this will be the first album of theirs I don't buy.
