![]() Of the six tracks that feature vocals, four are smothered with the synthesized pitch corrector. On tracks like Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, the duo make it work by pushing the instrument to its breaking point, squeezing out subhuman glips and merging the vocals into a Vai-style synth-guitar solo. But when the band relies on the tool merely as a gimmick, as on Digital Love and Something about Us, the sentimental love songs come off with all the heart-melting earnestness of Kid Rocks Only God Knows Why. Discovery s first big score comes with the rousing Crescendolls. The obscure Imperials sample makes the song with spirited heys and everybody yalls yelled out from a crowd. Superheroes, which draws its repeated refrain from a late 70s Barry Manilow track called Whos Been Sleeping in My Bed, sates with a massive, fist-pumping kickdrum, complex chord changes, and light-speed keyboard bleeps. The snapping percussion and Phantasy Star II phaser synths of Verdis Quo recall a somber Flashdance -era Giorgio Moroder. And the 16-bit pitch-bent tones and Klymaxx electro-bass of Short Circuit would have felt at home on Trans Ams Surrender to the Night. Still, this beast, however grotesque, is relatively harmless-- rather than running amok in the village and snapping the necks of civilians, it only wants to celebrate and dance so free, one more time.
