In their search for "the difference between what content and content can bring," they've produced an effort that provides both that substance and satisfaction.
These quick switches, mixing styles and changing tempo, make Content so fascinating. It's the work of a band full of ideas, confident enough to throw them all together and accomplished enough to pull it off.
The second album from the synth-pop group finds them getting anxious about their own ambition, a feeling that doesn't always gracefully adapt to the dance floor.
The album is flat in every regard, its philosophy would get laughed out of a seventh grade classroom and the bone-brained build ups to the actually pleasant sounds makes the entire enterprise not worth it.
200th rating!
I can't be bothered to do a long review for this considering I've done two semi-recently and those were painful enough.

Unlike the others, I listened to this one just recently. It's a great musical journey and full of life. The concept here is interesting, but isn't fully fleshed out due to some poor writing, but the production is something I would just sit and ponder life to, and there's something for everyone, and of course this is better for me because of the electronic theme and production. The themes in songs like Content, Going to a Place, and It's a Trip! fuel me to say this is ... read more
Might be better than 'How Do You Feel Now?'
It might just be the electronic influences I like more on this though
He escuchado este álbum unas 10 veces más o menos. Me encanta este álbum, es mi favorito de Joywave. Me da una vibra y sentimiento de como si estuviera en una fría noche de madrugada del 2010.
Solamente tengo un pero con dos canciones, que son "Shutdown" y "When You're Bored". La primera no me es interesante, a diferencia del resto del canciones, le falta salsa. La segunda tiene más sabor, pero se queda corta. La guitarra que se usa me ... read more
