This is the newest release from Barsuk Records veterans Ra Ra Riot. As usual, there are some really awesome songs on here, mixed in with kind of a lot of pretty bad stuff. But the good stuff is really good! RIYL: Neon Indian and Passion Pit…
FCC CLEAN!
Favorites: **1**, 2, 5, 10
1. (4:40) Water – I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Summer anthem, indie pop perfection, play often and enjoy.
2. (3:46) Absolutely – More upbeat infectious music, fun, energetic, awesome.
3. (2:10) Foreign Lovers – More of the same, fast bass line, another good melody.
4. (4:24) I Need Your Light – Not my favorite, the vocals kind of bug me on this one.
5. (3:35) Bad Times – Love this one! Heavy, more pop-rock, great track.
6. (3:35) Call Me Out - This one also bugs me, lame lyrics, too dramatic.
7. (3:26) Instant Breakup – This one is also meh.
8. (2:54) Every Time I'm Ready to Hug – Hand claps, another decent melody.
9. (3:02) Bouncy Castle – Another meh…
10. (4:18) Suckers – Another good one, sounds the most like old Ra Ra Riot, solid track.
