#102 Ratatat - LP4

A commercial with a song that sounded like a Ratatat song rekindled my interest in checking out their new one.

There is awfully little to say here. It sounds like a (very slightly) more interesting version of LP3, which sounded like a watered down version of Classics, which sounded like a (very slightly) pumped up version of the self titled debut without the enticing whiff of hip hop and pulsing heart of Cherry.

Also, these guys suck at naming albums.

So yeah, there's a little more experimentation here, some interesting textures, extra beeps and boops, but it doesn't quite rock, and it doesn't quite move me the way I want it to. A slightly funky, fairly interesting series of background-music songs, but maybe nothing more 3/5
