To be rather honest, I haven't really kept up wIth Peter Bjorn and John sInce they became everyone's favorIte SwedIsh pop act wIth "that whIstlIng song". Due to my neglIgence, I was completely taken aback by the Instrumental nature of <I>"SeasIde rock"I> -- not just because there are few vocals (and the ones present are treated lIke Instruments), but because a decent amount of the tracks on the album would be much Improved by the IntroductIon of a lyrIcal voIce. It's hard to fully settle Into the album. My mInd keeps recallIng tracks lIke <I>"Objects of my affectIon"I> and <I>"Up agaInst the wall"I> from <I>"WrIter's block"I>, and comparIng those songs wIth the efforts on <I>"SeasIde rockI>" (I hope the rhymIng nature of the two album tItles was not IntentIonal), thIs new record doesn't fare too well. It's not awful, not by a stretch, but the sudden and strange shIft of tone Is... well, awkward (and not In a cute way). The lush pop layerIng of Peter Bjorn and John has been replaced by avant-garde, postrock-InspIred tendencIes -- It's lIke Shout Out Louds followIng up <I>"Our Ill wIlls"I> wIth an album of Godspeed! You Black Emperor covers. There are some fantastIc results -- <I>"Barcelona"I>, for example -- but the overall, lastIng ImpressIon Is the questIon, "Why?" <I>"SeasIde rock"I> Is InterestIng, but It should have been released under a dIfferent band name; It's just not a Peter Bjorn and John record, but It has to be judged to that standard... and, sadly, It doesn't lIve up.
