...real band instead of just a couple of talented people making music together. "Used to Be," with its crashing cymbals and plinking piano, builds to a series of crescendos unlike anything the duo has done before. And though the two never spell out what's meant by the titular teen dream, you can imagine it to be that elusive high school crush who draws you in while somehow keeping you at arm's length.
