    A promising contender, rather than the champ. As nice as Again & Again is (and it is "nice"), in 2011 there are simply bigger fish dishing this electro, pop art revivalism up more convincingly and, crucially, with more personality.

    All in all it's a very enjoyable album, if at times a rather strange one.

    A light but pervasive dusting of flanger effects and wavy-tuned synths makes the melodies sound cloudy and unfocused. Even the singles don't especially stand out.

    Again and Again is at times hindered by the sonic limits of its vintage-based instrumental palette, and lacks the instinctive "one should really know better" appeal of the preceding full-length release.

    Again and Again is an atmospheric album, but it suffers under often nonsense lyrics, uninspired vocals and borrowed production. It doesn't leave a lasting impression.
