TV On the Radio Dear Science (Interscope)

Though this came out a couple of months ago you feel the hope seeping up around the funky riffs ans sex-celebratory lyrics. So when I say I was touched more deeply by the melancholy and grit of Escape to Cookie Mountain, don't take it as a disrecommendation. I always preferred Exile to Sticky Fingers, Slanted & Enchanted to Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Rid of Me to Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea. But even if I like mine a little rough around the edges, in these times I'll take the joy where I find it.
