  The album strips some of the band’s experimentation back toward concise guitar songs while preserving the strange tunings and textural tension that always made them distinctive. Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore sound reflective rather than rebellious for its own sake. Tracks like “Incinerate” and “Do You Believe in Rapture?” carry real emotional warmth beneath the noise. It’s graceful aging without creative stagnation.
