    Nasty, just nasty.

    Maybe another producer could have made something out of these songs, but the horrible production values combined with a last call performance leave me thinking this band is done. That's too bad since there are gems on the previous 3 albums.

    Tell Me I'm Pretty, while poppy and as mainstream as ever, loses its sense of appeal, character and individuality in coming off too much as a carbon copy of The Black Keys.

    The band are operating in an ever more overcrowded field, but their songwriting has never been sharper.

    The issue here, though, is that the band seemed more than capable of leaping ahead of their radio-friendly indie counterparts, but slip right back into the abyss with their least ambitious LP to date.
