| | New Pornographers - Electric Version (Matador) |
 | | Although I immediately liked Electric Version upon the first few listens, I had the nagging thought that it was "just ok", that Mass Romantic was better and that much like that album, I'd eventually get bored with it. |
 | | Listening to the Mass Romantic again, though, only belied my suspicions, quelling the little voice that said, "Their last album was much better," and I soon found that the only thing I liked less on the new one was that Bejar sang no backing vocals, a criticism as minor as any. |
 | | Lying on my bed listening, I realized Mass Romantic was, well, just a lot more simple that Electric Version, which isn't bad for a power-pop album, but all the same, is what led me to get bored with it in the first place. |
