Alt-pop band Everything Everything's 5th studio marks 10 years since their debut album and a new direction. The iconic punchy drums and nasally, eccentric falsettos remain a part of their unique sound, but this new set of tracks distinctly stands out from their previous projects. While their previous projects may have looked at the world in a wistful and paranoid lens, RE-ANIMATOR takes a different approach in how direct and upbeat it leans. Not all the tracks are winners, but the tracks that are (see: Arch Enemy and Violent Sun) comfortably place in my top 10 songs of the year. If you enjoy experimental pop in any way, you will definitely want to check this out.
