    Forwarding the formula that worked on "Heat Waves" fails to render a similarly catchy song this time out, which means harried, heartsick overreaches like "How I Learned To Love The Bomb" and "On The Run" end up drifting and meandering inti a dolefully ambiguous musical and emotional middle distance.

    Inoffensive music Iike this is an affront to the very idea of what makes music so worthy of obsession and analysis. It's the antithesis of self-expression; this ain't no victimless crime. For the first time, I understand the term: this is pure co-worker music.

    Lacking the kind of big hooks that anchored Heat Waves, it doesn’t feel eclectic so much as nonspecific.

    There are odd moments that cut through – there’s a pleasingly succinct guitar solo on opener Show Pony, and A Tear in Space (Airlock) does a nice line in polite euphoria – but as a whole this is very much a case of all surface, no feeling.
