   The problem here is that this doesn't sound so much as a new direction for Menomena as it does a Menomena/TV on the Radio split LP.

As a whole, the album's songs are actually quite good and holds a lot of relistenable value, but it's sort of like hearing Nelly Furtado's "Like a Bird" and then buying her next album and for it to be all Timbaland dance tunes. If this was Pitchfork, I'd give it a 7.5.… Expand
