^OK, let's see...This is the first time I've listened to
Menomena. I didn't really know anything about this band that is apparently very promising, or so they say. What I'm about to say is based on two listens and while my opinion might change, at the same time this album doesn't give me much motivation to listen to it more. Overall it's a solid indie pop album with some interesting electronic arrangements and occasionally off-beat rhythm section. The first two tracks 'Muscle 'N Flow' and 'The Pelican' are my favorites, especially the latter, incidentally or not, the 'rockiest' song on the album. I leave the possibility that
Friend and Foe may be a slow burner and it has some interesting songs that I might enjoy more outside the album actually. As a whole it didn't grab me and I struggled to reach the end.
