    Lacking the ready-made hooks of 2005's The Mysterious Pro­duc­tion of Eggs, the bookish baroque pop of Are You Serious proves the fiddler's iconoclasm lies in his technique's novelty.

    Bird changed up the backing group from his previous three records and picked a producer he worked with during 2005 solo breakthrough, The Mysterious Production Of Eggs. The result of all this makes Are You Serious arguably his best, at least since Eggs.

    Are You Serious will likely end up as the “Andrew Bird Grows Up” album, even if it annoys him. But there’s beauty in the honesty of that evolution.
