Maybe Enon get more credit for weirdness than they deserve, or maybe the world has just gotten stranger since the Philly band's spastic beginnings, but their fourth album of electro-inflected jitter rock sounds surprisingly familiar. Toko Yasuda's voice is comelier than ever, burbling with new-wave energy on the slashing "Colette" and the almost Garbage-like "Pigeneration." Meanwhile, mastermind John Schmersal is becoming more comfortable leaning closer to radio-ready -- his guitar artfully complements the melodies, instead of screeching to compete with them.
