#071 The Polysics - Karate House

Despite Neu! being one of my favorite albums of last decade, I'd never really heard anything else of theirs.

This one doesn't quite capture the magic of my other favorite though. For one, its not quite as relentlessly high energy, more concerned with being listenable. For two, a female singer is on board who just doesn't work. That said, there's a few really nice poppy gems on here, with great pop-punk high energy, sort of like the best Pillows songs. Can't see it replacing Neu! when I'm in the mood for this kind of thing, bu I might cherrypick those few songs 3/5
