Starts and ends with two great tracks, but the rest is mostly a slog where the songs seem to outstay their welcome and the vocals grate. While the bleating has never been the main attraction for me, this is the first time I find it detracts.

Gnod return to their roots with an album of loose jams, a long way from the relentless pummeling of their last few releases. Spot Land even brings Mogwai and Talk Talk to mind at times. However, even though it's a nice listen I'm not sure if I will still be thinking about it in a few weeks.
