The story of Iai and Hot Chip - saw them live and hated it, heard "Over & Over" and loved it, got the album, thought they were horrifically boring again. Literally, everything on this album apart from "Over And Over" is unremarkable, boring, typical indie-dance music. Musically, not a lot of much note goes on in any of the songs, and the tongue-in-cheek humor which works so well on this album's one hit falls totally flat elsewhere, putting the rest of the songs on the level of tossed-off jamming littered with stoned in-jokes. The Warning could have been a good album, but it's crushed under the weight of one-dimensional laziness. Not recommended.
