7 out of 10Fischerspooner are FINALLY back! It has been way too long since we last heard a new FS album. Nearly 4 years later, Fischerspooner return, with the same overly catchy Electro-Pop racket that they first offered on "#1". One of the great things about this band/art project is their sound stays consistent with hints of unique production differences on each album.
On track 2 Fischerspooner insist they are electric, but in all honesty, I never thought they weren't, their sounds are extremely robotic and void of humanistic tones. The electronics on this album have elements of dark and dirty Detroit Synth-Pop mixed with a late 70's underground New York dance club. Casey Spooner has sharpened/honed in on his vocal talents a little more with this release. And you will definitely want to blast this on your stereo while shaking your butt/bobbing your head. Don't be afraid to let the fun hit you right between the ears.
Somebody on Amazon wrote a review on "Entertainment" saying this should've been the album Depeche Mode wrote, and I couldn't agree more. Kudos to you Fischerspooner for staying true to your sound/fans. You will not hear another Electro-Pop/Clash album with ingenuity like this for a long time, or at least not until the next Fisherspooner comes out.
Standout Tracks: The Best Revenge, Money Can't Dance, Supply & Demand (catchy as catchy can be), Amuse Bouche (originally on the terrific "Living Bridge" compilation), Infidels Of The World Unite, Door Train Home (like this one a lot), Danse En France (viva la fronce!)
