This is pretty much Dear Science part 2. The production and atmosphere are great, as are many of the songs, but it does not feel as eclectic or consistent as earlier Tv on the Radio albums.

Second Song, New Cannonball Blues and Keep Your Heart are the standouts I think.

It's actually my favourite TV on the Radio album. Probably their most accessible one, too. I think it's not Dear Science II, as much as it is taking the most accessible/catchy tracks from that album (like Crying or DLZ) and creating a full album of those.

I never settled on my favourite track here... It could be any of the following: You, Will Do, Killer Crane.. Also great are Caffeinated Consciousness, Forgotten, Keep Your Heart, Second Song...
Damn I really love this album.

It's better than the supermarket $1 bin but hardly their best album. I'll take any of their past albums over this. Recently, I've enjoyed Dear Science, more than cookie mountain. It's quite a bit different than cookie mountain but just as good

Killer Crane was my favourite cut here. I can sympathize with ayone who argues that these guys are overrated. We're still waiting for that big disc where they put together wall-to-wall great songs.

They've done better stuff obviously, but this is still decent.
