The band’s usual emotional restraint starts to fracture here in interesting ways. Electronic textures and fragmented arrangements destabilize the familiar piano-and-baritone melancholy, giving songs like “Guilty Party” and “Day I Die” a nervous, unsettled quality. Matt Berninger sounds existentially exhausted. It’s an album about trying to maintain connection while slowly disappearing into routine and anxiety.
