    Throw It To The Universe's seven-track swan song isn't exactly the band going out on top, but shows it leaving the game admirably, crafting the same catchy, thoughtful songs it's always made.

    Surprisingly sedate for a final blow-out, Throw It to the Universe sends The Soundtrack of Our Lives down the road to retirement with beauty, class and grace.
