Raveonettes, The
In and Out of Control
With their rich shoe-gazey guitar swells and catchy pop melodies in perfect balance, The Raveonettes put forth a tremendous effort with In and Out of Control. The album has a great, thought-out feel. This is more then just a bunch of songs thrown together. The album is more full then previous releases. This could be because of their self induced limitations in previous albums (only in B flat, only three chords, and with no ride cymbals). Each song has legs. This means each song can stand alone, like chapters of a book.
Ranging from Sonic Youth style noise pop to full out bubble gum pop choruses, the album stays fresh and changing. The album has a strong presence, but does not drone on too long. This is their most solid release and is sure to make many more Raveonettes fans. Great album!
