The dynamic red and white duo are back starting off with 'Seven Nation Army' a foot stomping, hypnotizing track - which I believe features bass on it as well, a first for the band. The album is good, but not as charming as 'white blood cells' - the songs are entertaining, they just don't seem as important. There are some interesting moments like the opening to 'There's no home for you here' and the serve and return of 'The hardest button to button' but the rest seems like a watered down version of WBC.
