Title: A staggering, synth-smeared beauty of a record!
Review: Let's make this clear once and for all:Monkey House may not contain as many excellent songs as Thirteen Tales(which enjoyed more memorable hooks and catchier lyrics),but it is hypnotic, mysterious and above all my friends:clever.Just listen to all those wonderful electronic hooks and odd noises in the luscious mix,and you'llsee that as synth-rock rebirths go,Monkey house isa highly convincing,smarter and bouncier album than any of its predecessors.Bottom line is:Monkey house is a great album and unquestionably,the group's most thematically grounded and bracing to date.The stuff of magic!Enough said.
