The Big Sleep – New Strings

Biography
Brooklyn NY, United States (2003 – present)
In February 19, 2008, the band released Sleep Forever, follow-up to their debut album Son of the Tiger, released September 19, 2006. The Big Sleep will release a new album called “Nature Experiments”, which will be out on January 31, 2012.
Considering how quiet they’ve been over the past couple years, you’d think the Big Sleep decided to suddenly take their name seriously after the tireless tour cycle behind 2008’s Sleep Forever LP. The truth is much simpler…
“We took a little break, worked on stuff separately and just lived our lives,” explains bassist/vocalist Sonya Balchandani.
“It obviously took longer than we thought it would,” adds guitarist/vocalist Danny Barria, “but I wasn’t feeling rushed or pressured. I just wanted to write good songs.”
Which brings us to the hefty hooks and sugar-spun noise pop of Nature Experiments, the filler-free full-length Danny and Sonya have hinted at since 2000. That’d be the year the duo started cutting demos in the former’s Brooklyn kitchen; demos that eventually shifted from a loose shoegaze sound (the You Today, Me Tomorrow EP) to the iridescent instrumentals and groove-locked guitar anthems of the Big Sleep’s debut album, 2006’s Son of the Tiger.

My co-worker gave me Son Of The Tiger and the songs I've listened to are really great. Is it regarded as better or worse than Sleep Forever?
