While Francis\u2019 classic guitar riffs abound, arrangements run the gamut from slow-burners to full on ragers, complete with plenty of synths, dance-beats, weird sound effects, and spacey vocals. Stand out tracks for this listener include the weirdo-dance-rocker \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b0HXy8a50BQ\" target=\"_blank\">White Out,<\/a>\u201d glammy space party \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3xz0jMy-mAM\" target=\"_blank\">Silver Boys<\/a>,\u201d and the rocking \u201cShady,\u201d though really the whole disc is one non-stop event. Definitely worth checking out, whether or not you\u2019re a fan Black Francis or not.
