    It's the contrast between their writing styles and voices, slight as they may be, that works to make Sainthood another rich and rewarding album.

    This is a set of power pop with hooky choruses and chiming harmonies to go along with splashes of synths mixed in for throwback '80s flavor (especially 'Red Belt'). It makes for a 40-minute blast of smart songcraft.

    The arrangements are consistently dynamic and clear, but Tegan & Sara’s wordy vocals steal the show.
