In its third album, the Canadian duo inclines more on the R&B/pop character that was signaled in Hidden Gems rather than the heavy/chunky riffs founded in Black Holes. Short and concise, Pretty Monster is full of groovy ("Cards are Down") and dancing moments ("Don't Miss", "Good Ideas"), extrapolating the ideas of tracks such as "Careless" and "Grim" founded in Hidden Gems. Personally, I have enjoyed the rock side of things with tracks such as the inaugural "Healing", the pulsative "No Angels" and the bouncy "Stay With Me".
