I'm a fan of Foster the People so I was glad to check out this new album. But something is off with this album. It feels a bit lost in some way. They are still pulling 80's references into their music, the track SHC has the best Smiths rift since the Smiths put out an album, but overall the album just doesn't work. Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 2 out of 5 stars for Not Bad.
If you like Foster the People, I would say it's worth giving a listen to see what you think. If you don't know them at all, I would say go back to their first album.
I feel like I can hear such a strong thread through game-show music, video-game music and pop music of the last 30 or 40 years.
