The album takes on an '80s air at times, including the slinky "Strapped for Cash," whose horns sound nabbed from Genesis' Abacab, and the title track, a funky rock strut that recalls Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry." Sometimes it all comes too easily: The guitar-driven anomie of "Michael and Heather at the Baggage Claim" echoes a number of prior tracks, such as "Hackensack" off the last album. But when the band hits—about 75 percent of the time—it's a fine score.
