    Interesting, unique ideas squandered by a lack of blossoming. The album's vibe is maybe best exemplified in the three skits where we get snippets of people asked broad questions, and their responses are layered over each other.

    Had the stronger songs been contained to an EP it could well have rivalled the extraordinary consistency and thrill of its predecessor – but frustratingly, it falls short.

    U.S. Girls have been moving closer to more listenable music from their sound experiments in that were released in 2008. Half Free and In AU.S. Girls have been moving closer to more listenable music from their sound experiments in that were released in 2008.
