Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reeling from the contentious departure of iconic frontman Peter Wolf, the band enlists keyboardist Seth Justman for lead vocals on their final studio album. 'You're Gettin' Even While I'm Gettin' Odd' heavily leans into synthesizer-driven pop-rock and danceable new wave, fully abandoning their gritty bar-band roots. The record suffered critically and commercially, precipitating the group's disbandment the following year.
