Young Liars

The new TV on the Radio is a freaking triumph. I cannot qutie put a name on it, but it has a quality that many new albums have been lacking. The songs all sort of flow into each other (not in a My Bloody Valentine wordless way). Its just kick ass, in a way that the 1985 Chicago Bears defense was kickass. The first four songs on the album have a similar vibe, but track 5, "Wolf Like Me" starts a whole new party. A straightforward song instead of a jam, it makes me want to take off my clothes and become one with the animals in the BWCA. "A Method" and "Dirty Whirlwind" are also superb. If there was any justice in popular music, this album would be a top ten smash. But no, we get Paris Hilton.
