Information Retrieved - Pinback [CD]

On one hand, their fifth album, Information Retrieved, is the logical and accessible realization of asound Pinback have been developing and refining for over a decade. However, that consistency that we've taken for granted is what makes Information Retrieved such a euphoric surprise; their finest and most fully realized album, a dozen years deep into a career that includes bona fide modern classics like Good To Sea and Summer In Abaddon. Simply put, this is better than we ever could have expected.
