Six years after making their distortion-drenched debut with the Whip It On mini-album, the Raveonettes' passion for rock & roll fundamentals remains undiminished. The Danish duo's third full-length release once again celebrates black leather and white noise, saccharine sweet harmonies and sinister verses, and, most of all, the Ronettes' sense of order and the Jesus and the Mary Chain's taste for chaos. But give Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo credit for keeping things fresh even when using well-worn parts. The dreamy "Aly, Walk with Me" and stomping "You Want the Candy" feature loping grooves, scratchy guitars and the Velvet Underground's patented tin-can production style, yet like the rest of the full-throttled tunes that make up the disc sound defiantly modern. The Raveonettes may remain immune to fashion but their style gets better every year. --Aidin Vaziri
