I love Return To Cookie Mountain so much: I love the way it combines African drumming and soulful singing with a grimey, dystopian synth-sound and white noise, but Dear Science is, to repeat what's been said, half-awesome and half-shit.
The first song and a few of the slows ones are the awesome; but then they are doing this post-modern Prince-thing and it just sounds like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, that weirdly-funkless-funk with shouty rapping - that song which starts 'he's a newspaper man, he's a newspaper man!' is seriously one of the worst songs I've ever heard. And then there's the fucking trumpets.
