Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marred by the tragic death of founding guitarist Ricky Wilson during its production, the group's fourth album is a slightly subdued but highly polished new wave effort. The heavily synthesized, dance-pop arrangements retain the band's signature playful, kitschy humor while leaning into slicker, radio-ready aesthetics.
