    While a few of the tracks are definitely worth listening to, Summer 08 is what happens when you give an architect their old tools back, only to find out they've forgotten how to use them. The nostalgic sounds of Metronomy from days past are there, but feel almost forced together to make songs that feel soulless and are straight up unpleasant.

    So the album remains a solo project, despite the welcome input from Robyn on Hang Me Out To Dry. The duet hints at how human Metronomy can sound when more life is squirted onto their palette.

    Summer 08 is good work from Mount, and an album with its fair share of corking tracks.

    This is Metronomy's first album since their debut recorded solely by Mount. It might also be their best.
