    As a unit, Eternally Even misfires every now and then, and the impact is integral to the structure of the whole.

    Especially on the front half, tracks flow into each other inconspicuously, and two of the nine are one song split into two parts, probably unnecessarily. The effect, then, is a bit of a shrug, a signal that James either has less to say or is less inclined to profess it.
