Overall, an excellent album

"Singer Todd's vocal style references Kurt Cobain, but the music is more complex than Nirvana. It features moody, droning guitars and keyboards, often erupting into powerful choruses, and relies on Todd's ear for heart-wrenching melody. At times, the songs steer toward the style of the Flaming Lips' "Soft Bulletin": they frequently utilize effects on vocals and guitars to create a very unique mood, one that remains consistent and penetrates the listener's atmosphere throughout the entire record. From start to finish, "We're Sleeping Better Now" is an excellent album, one that you'll want to listen to repeatedly."
