...Modern Times” left them totally inert. Danger Mouse brings new ears and a new context to the band, and for the most part they embrace it and execute it well. But it’s difficult not to hunger for the shaggy growl and feedback-warped abandon of their finest work. Whether they take this extra momentum forward to future work remains to be seen, but if not, “Attack & Release” will still stand as a strong and adventurous experiment for Akron’s finest.—Staff writer Ryan J.
