There's a lot of emotions running throughout the album, frustration and anger simmering beneath the glossy electro-pop tracks, but they never boil over the surface

The album’s title track, which opens with these explosive drums and cascading vocals, is pretty enjoyable. What the album does best is maintain this crazy, sweaty, funky vibe
