It does sound angrier. We agree that they have a new sound. But my point is... I don't like this new sound. I was a huge Unicorns fan, I was a huge Islands fan... but this... this... just strays away so much. I think they only way I'll return to being such a fan is if they either join back together or start a new band entirely... which they tend to do, am i right? Drop a member, start a new band, drop a member release another album, drop a member... I hear what you say, goose, you’re right. It does sound angrier. We agree that they have a new sound. But my point is… I don’t like this new sound.

Although the sound can be slightly grungy and muddled i would hardly call it epic or arcade fire-esque, as i'm sure your alluding to. The beat in "creeper" is almost a disco beat and the guitar in "vertigo" and "i feel evil creeping in" is very unicorns, in fact more a return to their unicorns roots from how i hear it. listen to "unicorns are people too" their demo. although they have lost some of their story telling capacity, moving away from songs like "jellybones" and "ghost mountain", they have moved onto a more disillusioned and angrier sound (seen in songs like: Creeper, The Kids Don't Know Shit, and The Arm") but still retain their personal sound. just my (more than two cents) two cents. id like to hear your response - i agree with you on some points. hey! i have to disagree with this review of Island’s “Arms Way”.
