Mission of Burma

Mission Of Burma's fourth album is a departure from the pinned-needles roar of 2006's The Obliterati. Far more spacious and dynamic, it blasts off with the anthemic, catchy ''1, 2, 3, Partyy!'' -- a classic Burma rocker on a level with ''This Is Not A Photograph'' or ''Certain Fate.'' Other tracks, such as ''Feed,''''Forget Yourself,'' and ''Slow Faucet,'' are slow, hypnotic builders. ''Good Cheer'' is a burst of almost uncontainable joy that literally explodes from the speakers.
