For any super-fans of the band’s previous album, ‘Oracular Spectacular’, be warned: this is a definite shift from their first one. That’s not to say, however, that this album is not a good one. Though it doesn’t boast any radio-ready monster hits like “Kids” or “Electric Feel”, it still has that shiny summertime vibe that has made this band so popular. They’re less about hit songs here and more about a sprawling, ‘60’s inspired, synth-fueled album. Whether that’s good or bad, that’ll be up to your ears to decide. (SONY MUSIC) 4/5
