    As with much of their late-career output, Old Mad Joy begs for a few spins before it reveals its charms.

    Sequenced hopscotch-style between the two principle composers, Old Mad Joy barely drops a beat ("You Must Not Know").

    Ultimately, Old Mad Joy may not signal the breakthrough that this outfit deserves, but by rekindling the savvy sound techniques that have taken them this far, hopefully the rest of the world will catch up soon enough.
