  Now For Plan A was a bold return to form after a pair of overly-produced records. It balances maturity and restlessness beautifully, sounding reflective and alluding to struggles through illness and mental health. Gord Downie fills the songs with strange images and emotional fragments that feel intuitive. The band’s chemistry remains remarkably fluid, especially on tracks like “At Transformation” and “Streets Ahead.” It’s a late-career record that still feels curious and searching.
