    What Miike Snow's electro-pop album does right in every song is create a piece of music where you feel the beat the moment it begins. It's impossible not to bob along, tap your foot, or dance a little.

    In addition to the trio's killer rhythm, they have a knack for inventing catchy, unforgettable choruses. I've had Genghis Khan stuck in my head for weeks. Literally weeks. Back of the Car    What Miike Snow's electro-pop album does right in every song is create a piece of music where you feel the beat the moment it begins. It's impossible not to bob along, tap your foot, or dance a little.

    In addition to the trio's killer rhythm, they have a knack for inventing catchy, unforgettable choruses. I've had Genghis Khan stuck in my head for weeks. Literally weeks. Back of the Car is also one of the songs that you immediately feel, builds a chorus, and carries you all the way to the end. Andrew Wyatt's vocals are also thoroughly impressive, with a range from brooding to auto-tuned crooning, begging to be sung along with.

    Overall, if you're looking for a new album to dance to, or at least to feel some steady rhythm, iii will do it for you.    … Expand

    Admittedly, iii flirts dangerously with its commercial sound, to the displeasure of fans used to Miike Snow’s earlier work. But there is no denying the creepy genius of Genghis Khan, the frenzied fun of For U (a collaboration with Charli XCX, no less), or the unapologetic bounce of The Heart of Me.

    It remains a fun and enjoyable pop record, even if its creators do seem more reluctant than ever to venture from their well established comfort zones.

    The production cylinders are firing, but the songcraft, so present on the first six tracks, doesn’t keep up with the pace. Even so, certain elements reveal a band committed to trying things out, making pop songs in unlikely formats, and having fun doing it.
