Despite the dancy-ness of the singles not seeming to fit in w/ the original Spiritual Machines, I can say for sure that their choice David Sitek producing was a great decision. It's different but it definitely follows the same lineage and the layering and synthy-ness is definitely inspired.

One thing I do wish is that they'd have at least one single that represents the sounds from other parts of the album. For me that pick is easily Good Die Young which I think is one of the best songs they've ever written- quite the achievement. It just feels so well put together that its hard to find anything I'd personally want to change about it, which is how I feel about something like In Repair.
Personal favorites: Good Die Young, Simulation (didn't really hook me at first, but that weird synth melody is awesome and reminds me of something from Clumsy), Temporary Healing, and The Message. Also, I don't know if it's after repeat listening or just hearing it in context of the album, but Future Disease went from a song I really disliked to something that I really enjoy when it comes on.
