Album Notes & Community Reviews
Continuing their evolution towards accessible mainstream pop, Danny Elfman's ensemble noticeably toned down their manic ska and avant-garde roots for this polished release. The album relies heavily on pristine synthesizer textures and tight, energetic horn arrangements to deliver highly melodic, slightly sarcastic new wave anthems.
