#1065 Band of Skulls - Sweet Sour

When the hell would you listen to this? Who would you even recommend this to?

The first track comes out fist-immediate and you're jazzed and jammed, and then everything gets all whispy and dripped in cooing girls and twisted up in forced little harmonies with their intricately planned little entrances. I'm all for branching out, but this sounds like the worst mixtape your brother ever gave you, an album that jackknifes between punk couldntgiveafuck and we-can-do-it community theater effortfest. It's so jarring as a listen that even its best moments (that opening song, the gorgeous little closer) get lost in the chop 2.5/5
