    On Oni Pond, their fifth, is quite possibly the closest they will ever come to being considered de-cluttered.

    Maturity suits the group, and "Pink Wonton," "Sparks," "Paul's Grotesque," and "Head On" have all the makings of breakout singles with their fun, memorable choruses and subtle yet clever musicianship.

    Each album in the band's discography has benefitted from a sense of chaos, an always-looming and welcome threat that things could come unhinged at any moment. The uninspired and wearisome On Oni Pond never creates such tension.

People grow and change as the years go on and it would be silly to ask Man Man to make another Rabbits Habit. This is a very good album. Treat yourself to it!!! Full Review »
