    Picture Show may not have as much mainstream appeal as a song like "Animals", but it definitely shows a band honed in on creating enjoyable, addicting tracks that seem fresh without losing the hint of the past this album seems thankfully unable to shake.

    Ultimately, the album's main fault is its resolute consistency, namely the fact that things basically run on one speed, and it gets repetitive quickly.

    They still favor mannered Anglophile synth pop that has somehow retained its "alternative" branding three decades after the Eighties.

    Picture Show's mixed bag of angular post-punk, moody synths, and blasts of mainstream rock (see ''Everybody Talks'') doesn't quite have the wit, charm, or cool of its aughties touchstones.

    This album is awesome! The best songs are Everybody Talks, Trust, Mad Love, and Weekend. All the other songs rock as well. Also so happy they have 11 songs instead of 8 like their last album, lets people listen to them more!… Expand
