WORTH CONSUMING!
I haven’t heard much of Ratatat’s previous album but I remember one complaint was that it was repetitive. I could see how someone might think that about this album too, but only because its instrumental. I think the fact that these guys can keep things intresting with enough subtle (or some totally dramatic) changes and a good beat makes it all that much more of a rewarding album. The music is both hip and danceable, and geeky and video-gamey, which I love. It seems like there should be more music like this but anything too close would just be called an imitation.
