Solid episode! I totally agree that the pacing of Phil and Carol messed up the back half. Also, whaaaat a great cameo. Side note: Vikram, you keep saying in the article that Todd and co. are in Miami. Aren't they in Malibu actually? I feel like Tuscon to Cali is a much more reasonable drive than Tuscon to Florida, haha

I absolutely love this album. I'm really happy other people are finding "The Shade" as infectious as I have been, and I agree that the album flows really well. Such a positive message, after the beautiful-yet-melancholy Synthetica. Metric's got nowhere to go but up!
