Their straightforward mission would be to find the truth. People would be invited to come forward and share their knowledge and experiences, not for purposes of constructing criminal indictments but to assemble the facts.

Instead of the straightforward dance-rock, they substitute the catchy choruses for musing, fuzzy electro-noodlings. The first half of the album is much better than the second. The second half’s main problem lies in some of the songs’ repetitiveness and slow pace. One would wish the band had been able to come...
