Can't believe I've written a review for a Caribou album before! I love his work.
This isn't my favorite of his albums. Outside of the first and the last track, I'm not clicking with much. But those tracks are terrific, with a warm but propulsive energy. The extreme girlishness of "Broke My Heart," then the inspiring if vague "Got To Change." Good stuff!
What can I say about the tracks in the middle though? Many of them feel more like fragments than anything fully developed. "Over Now" is pretty cool, though a bit thin. I feel like some of these tracks need a countermelody to cut across them. They get a bit stuck on one idea.
