    A classy exploit in dance-reggae slathered with pop. While it doesn't sound nearly as raw and ferocious as their earliest work, it does introduce a new invigorating hunger not seen on Dark Sneak Love Action or Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom. Vocals are in top for, and the band is ready to experiment within the comforts of their jam-band roots. A consistent and fun musical journey perfect for Summer with only a few missteps that do nothing more than bleed into the other more successful tracks. Nothing to worry about, very easy to listen to.… Expand

    The Good the Bad and the Funky is the first new album from the Tom Tom Club in eight years, and it's absolutely remarkable. Not only does it stand up to any of their previous releases, it may just be their best, most focused work ever -- and that's a lot to live up to, given the band's history.

    While all of the songs are strong, they don't necessarily sound like they belong on the same album.

    The new Tom Tom Club album is a lot like its title: a pop-culture reference whose impact fades upon inspection.
