Menomena - MINES
Reviewed by yewknee
Let's start by establishing the fact that I am a huge Menomena fan and have been since album one. What they do is pretty unique. That being said, something feels off with this record. Am I getting used to their shtick? Are the lyrics really as bad on this record as I think they are? Maybe it's a grower and I'm still adjusting to the newness but it certainly didn't grab me like the prior releases. In the spectrum of their releases, this one ranks down there but it's still Menomena.. which makes it better than most of what's out there. [menomena.com]
