I listened to most of the Foals forthcoming album, Antidotes, yesterday. As much as I love the sound that TVOTR achieved with Return to Cookie Mountain, it doesn’t work for everyone. Even if you love Celebration as much as I do, you have to admit that it all starts to sound samey after a brief while.
Naturally, this is one of those records I’ll punish myself for not liking more, only to realize that no one liked it much in the first place.
