    Minor slights aside, Acts is a pleasant conundrum among 2012's releases--an album made without concern for anything but the music itself by artists branching out and trying something new.

    Although RNDM sound as if they are working in harmony on a variety of styles and sounds, Acts comes short of delivering something new and unexpected, the variety a sampler of things they've done in the past.
