    In Cold Blood follows and is excellent, with code-like vocals and a brass-funk cascade drenching a menacing chorus. Hit Me Like That Snare is alt-J flexing their nerdiness, and Deadcrush is great. The final three tracks of the record are painfully boring and terminally so.

    Alt-J’s retelling of this age-old tale of ill repute has less edge than a mesh sack of Babybel cheeses.

    It adds up to a disjointed, uneasy compilation of songs, with the band seemingly refusing to conform to expectation.
