The Neighbourhood Review
The Neighbourhood have made their comeback. It really started last year, and hasn't quite ended, but this is the real meat of it- the album. The first one in three years, with almost nothing in between, after the okay but not very successful Wiped Out! and the successful but improveable I Love You. They started their comeback last year with the surprise Hard EP, the more eclectic indie half of Hard To Imagine, which was completed with the very electronic To Imagine EP this year. This album takes the best tracks from both, including the alternative radio hit Scary Love, originally from the To Imagine EP. The album starts with the shimmering synchronized synthes of Flowers, and the insecure but still major chord singing of Jesse Rutherford. It's pretty similar to his solo song Barbie and ken, about how he's such a fake, a basic Ken doll, etc. This time it trades Take a Daytrip's slick trap beats for the keyboard and some basic drumming, backing some really cool singin
