Amazing: After a four-year exile, Jim and William Reid still have the gall to pen "school-fool-cool" rhymes, filch classic melodies (Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy"), wallow in guitar noise, and fret over their "darkened souls." Thank God. They almost discover trip-hop on "Perfume," a keyboard-spiked seance with Hope Sandoval. Otherwise it's rock minimalism as usual - less glacial, maybe, but still able to sink ships.
B+
