While they are not afraid to bang the drums and rock out, Menomena keep the majority of this album behind a beautiful mask of complimentary melodies.
-
Ranging from the epic to the understated, Menomena manages to be innovative and accessible.

Friend and Foe follows through on the potential of their unique sound, proving their wildly great debut was no fluke.
-
It’s grandly impressive and points to potentially greater things in the future.

There's a sort of magic in the way this Portland threesome balances structure and chaos, pop and noise.

Friend and Foe compensates for its occasional melodic malaise with its vigorous, exploratory prosody.
-
While Menomena’s sound has matured and their musical prowess has grown considerably, similarities between songs of old and new are unmistakable.
