(top 20, at least), so I was pretty pumped about their latest release back in early May. However, I ended up being a little underwhelmed.Together
starts off with much promise, and the first three songs have that classic TNP feel. Pretty upbeat (read: poppy) compared to the first third of Challengers. "Moves," "The Crash Years," and "Your Hands (Together)" are all fantastic. The rest of the album, for the most part, doesn't seem to match the pace or the quality of the songs at the album's outset (with the exception of "Up in the Dark"). As with previous albums, I'm not a fan of the songs on which Dan Bejar (of Destroyer) sings ("Silver Jenny Dollar," "If You Can't See My Mirrors"). His voice just kills me.
