    There's no creative burn-out on Boycott Heaven as Ruess and Means offer an inspired third album that feels like two old friends reconnecting and finding that they have even more in common than before.

    The record's greatest strength is its sequencing, with each track taking an unexpected left turn that feels cohesive rather than jarring.

    The Format emerges from their dormant state with an eleven-song LP that not only reintroduces the duo as forward-thinking pop mainstays but also all-around daring musicians.

    The release may not be as fun as…well, Fun., but it marks yet another quality entry into Ruess & co.’s catalog.
