So, though it’ll be a while before they shake off the inevitable age fixation, TMOT have produced an album that’s a stroke of genius regardless of age.
-
It's this Grand Royal mish-mash style of mixing genres that makes this such a fun, cartoonish, joy ride.
-
It’s short (11 songs in 26 minutes), produced on Garageband, and endlessly earnest throughout every bit of its electro-inflected garage rock.
-
The Brooklyn siblings forgo their 2007 album’s rock star cameos (Karen O, Gibby Haynes, Fred Schneider) and funnel their adolescent aggravations into nippy punk rousers, where closet monsters and rich kids alike get served a scuzzy skewering.

-
There is an alarming lack of imagination in evidence on Skeletons, and virtually nothing in the way of strong emotion.
