The most recent album by these guys finds Rick Rubin at the helm again. Rubin must have realized he had stumbled onto something good after producing the band's last album, A New Morning, Changing Weather. Once again, Rubin has beefed up the drums and bass to make them the driving force behind the album. While the guitars are still very present, they take a backseat. This album is extremely poppy. Fans of the garage-rock sound these guys had may be disappointed to hear radio-friendly music. But what did you expect? You could slowly hear the band moving closer and closer to that sound with each album. It really comes as no surprise. And while it's not like the album is a complete lemon, fans will have to simply adjust to the new sound.
