Ratatat

Here's another band worthy of an Old/New Album post. The first Ratatat album is the shit. It was one of my favorite electronic albums for a LONG freakin time. There is just a magic to it that they have yet to recreate. I don't really like 2nd album Classics very much. I felt like it was just a rehash of their first album, only weaker. Their newest album LP3 is interesting. It is the first time where they don't have their signature synth sounds in every song. LP3 is more of an experimental record for them, and a lot of people are giving them shit for it. I personally applaud them for at least trying to take a new direction. I think it works. It's a little bit more of a challenging listen, but rewarding nonetheless.
