    Another solid release from one of my favorite bands (who happen to be exceptionally excellent live). If you haven't heard these guys before, I'd highly suggest their past releases. This is probably the only band of whom I can listen to every album front to back.

    I've just checked my last.fm account that this is my most listened to album, ever, Wow. Not supprised though. I think this is there best, although I'm sure people would disagree. Slow burning, complex conically interesting, yet still melodic. Dense with references and hidden gems if you care to listen. Can only be enjoyed by a full listen.

    It's a slow, über-democratic process that, on the band's fourth album, results in sputtering post-rock à la early Flaming Lips that varies wildly from song to song.

    Each track on their fourth boasting a captivating blend of experimentalism and depth.

    Drifting between order and disarray, Menomena's fourth album is like an exercise in controlled chaos.
