Silversun Pickups - Neck of the Woods (2012)

 Their third album represents a slight departure from their Smashing Pumpkins-esque sound they've cultivated and more towards intricate melodies, electronic elements, and very dreamy textures. Of course there are still songs such as "Mean Spirits" that recall their earlier work, but it's safe to say they've established a new identity on this record. Very solid album and probably my favorite of theirs.
8.5/10
