Other than "I Am Hollywood", every He is Legend release has taken a few listens to fully digest. They are each interesting enough to warrant more than one listen, and each listen yields a progressively greater appreciation of the record.
The pattern repeats with "few".
Perhaps the reason for this pattern is that every release sounds like He is Legend, but always introduces some small, yet not insignificant variation on their sound. "few" blazes a new path, sounding very much like the spiritual successor to Suck out the Poison, with a little bit of every other record mixed in for good measure (even IAH).
It's hard to judge at this point where "few" falls in relation to all the other releases. In my opinion, It Hates You remains the high point of their career, but "few" pulls everything together so well that it may in time come to eclipse their other efforts.
