Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off
Great review Jacob. As much as I love pop, I wish Moderat hadn't made the effort to make this a more accessible poppy album. In doing so I think they have lost some of their inventiveness.
Happy Birthday is one of my best albums I can think of that is, to steal a word of you, totally schizophrenic, with no overall soundscape or theme. Moderat I was pitched at the perfect level between accessible danceability and freedom of ideas, but this goes too poppy for me. I want to see what these guys can come up with when they push themselves sonically - not force themselves to make a pop record.
So, despite rating this a 4, im kinda disappointed with it.

Kinda agree, except that I think Happy Birthday! is a bit too long and basically inconsistent in quality. (With the first Moderat album being almost as diverse, but just better.)

Bad Kingdom and Milk are great
|

Thanks a ton, guys. This is a very interesting album to me, and I wanted to help explain that a little.
Alex, I definitely think this has the capacity to grow on you. Did you did get much out of the deeper cuts here, like "Milk" or "Therapy"? If not, I suppose it may not be your thing.

not sure why this gets hated on so hard
|
| |
never see it being hated on, but a fair bit of people think it's a bit boring. and i can see that for sure, because i was quite turned off from this on the first listen
|

Great review man. I might check it out although I barely remember the first one
|
| |
thanks bud =] think this is more memorable, as it's more rooted in pop this time around. but if nothing else check out Milk, it is just incredible
|
| |
check the rolling stones dudes
|
| |
Let the Light In and Therapy, man. Fuckin' kill me
|
| |
thought my tracklist on my ipod was fucked with the album starting with an interlude. it appears its all good tho
|
| |
this is so good!
