    It’s the most welcome of dinosaurs: a top to bottom summertime rock album that sounds equally great on a car radio or in teenage bedroom.

    Overall, Similar Skin is a very solid record, and it definitely suggests a particular mesh of influences that make Umphrey’s McGee stand out.

    On stage, the stretched out pieces allow the group to more seamlessly stitch their tapestry together, a talent that isn’t quite as effective in this occasionally inspired but just as often hectic studio set.

    Newcomers may not find Similar Skin the ideal place to begin, but longtime admirers will probably swoon in awe.

    It's some of the zestiest overthinking you'll hear all year.
