It's certainly an ambitious effort; seventeen tracks spread out over four sides that seem to continuously draw you in. Soaring guitars dive into waves of sound wile the vocals seem to barely make it to the surface. The ebb and flow of the album stands in contrast to the steady pace of DIIV's debut. Where Smith was responsible for every note that was played on that album, the road tested band that now makes up DIIV is present on \u003ci\u003eIs The Is Are\u003c\/i\u003e. Every instrument is fighting to assert itself, further expanding the band's sound. Includes the songs: \"Dopamine,\" \"Dust,\" and \"Waste of Breath.\" Seventeen tracks in all.
