    Arm's Way is the sound of a band forgetting what made them fun and highly listenable and instead grasping for a grand statement that is far beyond their reach.

    This Montreal band's Anti- debut is a far more calculated, robust affair than its first album, 2006's "Return to the Sea."

    It is a towering, complex achievement and startling progression to boot.
