Elektric Animals have a sonic vision: craftily blues-based pop-rock with group vocal yells, eerie undertones and techno instruments layered in. Now the Denver band needs to smooth the rough edges. A rousing "nah nah nah" chorus and a great bridge propels "Guillotine," whose catchiness is handicapped by lead vocals that are buried in the mix. Same goes for "Just Like You," so maybe that's the effect they're going for? Just doesn't work all that well for us. Catchiest song is "Cool Calm Collected" which almost overcomes the muffled vocals thing. Strong, forceful drumming, powerful vocal chorus and an fx'd guitar solo. Your this close, guys... Perfect for fans of Cage the Elephant, Imagine Dragons.
