...role in hastening the death of a cancer patient. And then there's the flurry of panic as many of the tomatoes that American consumers take for granted every day suddenly disappear - from McDonald's hamburgers; from the salsa at Chipotle Mexican Grill; from Burger King, Taco Bell and Sonic; and from the grocery shelves at Kroger, Wal-Mart and Target.

While it never satisfies as fully nor succeeds as thrillingly as the band’s earlier work did, the album explores a fuller, more dimensional sound that only promises greater things from the Keys in the future. It certainly shows that the band could have used the help...
