Full disclosure: it was only after being floored by what a college radio host announced after airing it as their last record's first number, Magic Potion's "Just Got To Be", that this writer paid this pair any mind. No such immediate attention-grabbers here, but the more diffuse feel focuses attention on the details Danger Mouse adds. Things first get overtly hip-hoppy on "Psychotic Girl" and, like "Strange Times" before it and the following "Lies", it's that spooky-ooky digi-dust at the changes that lets you know who's at the console.
