Not a *leap* forward by any means (RDJ just keeps refining the sound he coined on _Hangable Auto Bulb_), but a satisfying *step* forward.  Of course I'm making this judgment based on a 43-second snippet; the rest of the record might be a startling departure for all I know.  Wouldn't be the first time.  Drooling AFX fanatic that I am, though, I'll surely love whatever it turns out to be.  :)
