Their first one is probably one of my top 10 favorite albums of the 00's, and the second one was good enough to keep my interested in the new one. 2011 ho!
This is really what the second album should have been. Proof of Youth was too much of the same, but not as well-paced as the debut. This branches out a lot more, bringing DJ Ninja more to the fore, making songs that are more harsh, more fun, more unpredictable, in turn, if not at the same time. Its probably going to be my second favorite of their albums just because it differentiates itself a bit more.
That said, its still the go team sound. Still the same horns, the same big guitars, the same basic beat that is getting a little bit tired. I don't know how they can really keep making albums without betraying their sound when their sound was so consistent on the debut, but if you liked their previous ones, you'll find more of the same here, for better or for worse. I found it enjoyable, but unspectacular as a listening experience, leading to a pretty generous 3.5/5
