...World” is probably the best track Pharrell has mixed in a couple of years (apart from “Trill,” this recording’s knives-out club banger). Simple synth string lines surge and disappear, stabbing through the sounds of a protesting bass drum and a cracked cowbell.

Auerbach, if not a guitar god then surely a demi-god, let loose even more than on the band’s four full-length albums, taking the unchained punch of the band’s songs...
