Pounding drums, an eccentric half-shouted vocal drawl, and simple guitar melodies that shift in volume at the drop of a hat. That's what this album is from start to finish and we've heard all this before, but it isn't always this catchy. I'm not reading the most positive of reviews, but this is working for me. It's got energy, it's got hooks, it doesn't feel dull or stupid or mindless. Maybe the world is just "over" catchy standard indie rock. I'm not.
Note: the video below is for the song "Freak Out," which I thought was one of the better songs on the album, but is also one of the more unique tracks and may not be the best representative of this album (but it's what I could find).
8.5 / 10
