    [Jump on Board] has its moments and is a pleasurable listen. But it neither matches the killer pop soul of say “Black Eyed Boys”; nor is it a sufficiently radical departure to make it the stand-out album they had in mind.

    Absolutely not, it doesn' have any instant classic like Say What You Want or In Our Lifetime.
    And still.... I love it. It's been 4 years since their last album and this one is good enough for me to just swtich off my brain while listening to it while jumping aboard the good vibes this guys can still transmit when creating music.
