The band??s disinterest with variety on the rest of the album is nothing short of frustrating. Someone felt the need to include “Risky and Pretty,” the album’s 45-second interlude, as a purely instrumental track with more of the same boring...

However such a deconstruction would not only be an exhibition of the worst kind of musical machismo; it would suggest that the band??s songs are more pastiche than product.They are not. Inspirations aside, theirs is a group of fully formed, self-sustaining songs that ultimately do not depend on the work of their forefathers to be realized. While its clear that they are devoted fans of pop music, they have more intensely studied...
