    Simply put, this album is more than pretty good.

    Though the music often suggests a frozen remove, Egedy's voice conveys a need to connect, which smartly reinforces the album's lyrical themes of feeling isolated and disconnected from the physical self.

    2009's Dark Rift had its grating, overarching qualities, but Thee Physical sounds more streamlined; however, this album isn't polished to perfection.

    Thee Physical is music ready for a dance floor (just as much as past Pictureplane releases have been), but it's also a disc that shows growth towards a better ability to blend the synthetic and the organic.

    Thee Physical wants to mosh in the punk club as much as it wants to throw on some lip gloss and hit the town, and it's frustratingly enticing to imagine how the record would have turned out if Egedy had leaned on the gas towards the latter option.

    While that pop sense is here yet again on THEE PHYSICAL, the difference on this album is that it feels written, large empty structures playing host to actual songs.

    Nothing sticks on the LP, and the disc feels recycled, pedestrian and a bit exhausting--at best.

    Though not as good as his previous work, Egedy's Thee Physical still manages to put forth an orgy of highly danceable tunes with hisThough not as good as his previous work, Egedy's Thee Physical still manages to put forth an orgy of highly danceable tunes with his characteristic seal. More enjoyable when being high. Collapse
